You might recall that a week or so ago we were lauding the talents of Fraser Fifield as a new 'telant' on the Scottish music scene. Well he crops up again here as the producer and multi-instrumentalist, adding his talents to Mick West's big strong voice and between them, and the other musicians, they bring a new life to eleven traditional story songs.
Forget about the 'cold' sounding title - this is a warm welcoming album.
Have a good listen.
