Product Description

The Telegraph

"This measured, unexpectedly accessible and hugely enjoyable third effort... sounds progressively fresh."

The Observer.

"Moray plays many of the instruments, but his vocals, tender and melodic, are his greatest asset, effortlessly dramatising old love songs and ballads."

5.0 out of 5 stars Folk music for our times, 16 Jul 2008

By	C. M. Knowles (Gloucestershire, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like the new record by Eliza Carthy, 'Dreams of Breathing Underwater', this is for me perfect modern folk music, bringing to it vibrancy and innovation without sacrificing its earthy, local nature. Unusual instruments work very well; and who would have thought (certainly I would never that believed it) that rap could find its way onto a record like this and somehow work. The problem with music like this is its classification, because it transcends labels like 'folk', whilst 'Modern folk', or 'new folk' seem contrived. Well, that is another problem; but anyone with an open mind should enjoy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic set, 16 Jul 2008

By	the Bury menace - See all my reviews

For those who loved Jim's first album 'Sweet England' but had a slightly harder time with the second, eponymous, release, have no fear. The man is back on form in a big way.
This is a tremendous album that has innovation ('Leaving Australia') and sensitive interpretation of traditional material in equal measure. Jim clearly has such a good feel for the folk material that he can bend it into almost any shape successfully. Well almost. I personally would skip the track where Jim attempts to introduce rap into an incest and murder ballad ('Lucy Wan'). But this is the only slight misstep on what is otherwise a tremendous collection.
For anyone with even a passing interest in folk music, and hearing it in an updated context rather than in a museum, this album is heartily recommended.
Nice One!

5.0 out of 5 stars exceptional telling of tales, 28 Jan 2009

By	J. Stapleton "Spartiate" (South West England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a fine set of songs and stories in the 'tradition', but it's also Jim Morays' brilliant re- telling and mixing that makes the whole thing work.
Lots of influences, ancient and modern, and one track 'Western Ocean', that puts me in mind of James Taylor and his lyrical twists. See what you think, don't hesitate to listen to this really fine work.
No backwards messages but keep the CD running to the end......
