Without wishing to cast nasturtiums on the album in question, one can't deny the influence of EMI in terms of wider exposure, advertising, etc. It certainly helped Seth Lakeman a few years ago, and it's disingenuous to pretend it hasn't given the Winterset a bit of a leg-up in terms of exposure, award nominations, etc.

Never mind floaty frocks - what I want to know is why they don't seem to own a pair of shoes between them...
