A fresh look at folk song without adding Jimmy Page on guitar. Nice acoustic, nice vocals and, as noted, very fresh and also very pleasant.
Reminiscent of, say, Barbara Dickson but here oor Emily throws in a few of her own songs that stand up against the traditional songs which she has also arranged.
Talented wee thing, eh!
You must have a listen.
