5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 13 April 2008
By Graham Jones - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not being a great folk fan (that may now change) heard Mike Harding play a track of this, thought it was Steve Earle, turns out it was written by him.Decided to buy it on the strength of that one song

No better way of spending two quid, and I will now check out several of these artists, whoever put this together ... great idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super sampler, 5 Jun 2008
By I. D. Watson "watsonian" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I discovered this CD while browsing the Amazon best-sellers chart. It is fantastic value - showcasing some fine music from the new generation of folk singers, such as Eliza Carthy. Like any good sampler it encourages you to listen and then search out more of the music. I particularly liked Karine Polwart singing 'Sorry' from her album 'This Earthly Spell', with a voice reminiscent of a young Sandy Denny. My other favourite on first listening was Martin Simpson singing 'Never Any Good' from his album 'Prodigal Son'. Like the Island samplers of yore, such as Bumpers and El Pea, this album is a great (and very reasonably priced) introduction to some excellent music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing variety and standard, 10 April 2008
By David Crompton (Allendale, Northumberland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I don't even especially like folk but what a great compilation this is for the money: it makes me want to follow up on some of the artists, see some live etc so I hope everyone will benefit from this lovely cd coming out at such a low price

Was a gift to a friend and was good to listen to it on Christmas Day. A good collection, and worth the purchase for the Martin Simpson track alone.
