I find this type of album excellent value-for-money. Invariably they contain the best track from each of the artists' latest release so for lovers of both traditional and contemporary folk it's an easy way to keep up to speed with what is happening on the circuit. This production is no exception and four tracks instantly stood out: Bella Harding's The Herring Girl; Lucy Ward and Alice in the Bacon Box (subsequently bought her album); Megson's The Longshot (a must if you are a football fan) and The Larks They Sang Melodious by Jon Boden which you can't help but join in and sing along.
