I almost forgot 'Stars in my Crown', as sung by Waterson:Carthy and Keith Kendrick and Lynne Heraud.
There's something about the songs that just hits the spot musically - it's certainly something that today's Tin Pan Alley writers could learn from, when so much of the Stock,Aiken, Waterman/Simon Cowell inspired stuff sounds so bloody mediocre.
