What a brilliant year it's been for new releases - many more than I can afford to buy. Highlights have been Chris Wood's 'Trespasser', McCusker, Drever and Woomble's 'Before the Ruin' and Brother Crow's 'Hollow Hills' - although I'm hoping Santa might bring me offerings from Reg Meuross, Tom Bliss, Richard Grainger and Dougie Mclean (some new, some old).
