FIRST HEARING:
Recorded off & on through 2005 and 2006, this is a 2007 release for a rarely recorded talent who has a long pedigree in folk song.
There is a good cast of supporting players and they come up with a rather beefy sound that leans into a country-style especially when the harmony vocals pile in.
This is well worth a listen.
