Product Description

From Amazon.com
Originally released in the U.K. in 1995, this album captures the duo just after they'd won the prestigious Young Tradition folk award. They bring a freshness and fire to the mostly traditional, familiar songs, which is no mean feat, Roberts's sweetness tempering Rusby's roughness well. It's Kate Rusby who emerges as the more distinctive voice here. Her version of "Recruited Collier" is a joy, and, both solo and with the Poozies, her star continues to rise, while Roberts has settled for less. The knowledge of what's happened since doesn't lessen the enjoyment of this record, however. If anything, this glimpse into the past shows two people laying a solid foundation for the future, and when you consider they were only 20, it's a remarkable achievement of youth. --Chris Nickson

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, truly talented singers, 4 Jun 2000
By A Customer
It is nice to be able to hear traditional songs sung with a clarity and emotion that belies the years of the artists. Sung from the heart. Excellent and truly enjoyable. I would love to hear more collaborations between Kate Rusby and Kathryn Roberts. Good Show

Kate and Kathryn duet fantastically together with traditional and origional compositions. This is one album i can honestly say i love every song on it. Wether you like folk music or not this is an unmissable album, with haunting, moving music. Love it.
