This is Spiers & Boden's second album this year following on as a companion release to their 'Tunes' CD (FECD192) already dubbed a "must have purchase" by Living Tradition magazine. Spiers & Boden have won the 'Horizon' and 'Best Duo' awards at the BBC Folk Awards and their big band, Bellowhead, won 'Best Live Act' this year. They are part of Eliza Carthy's band, The Ratcatchers, and are currently the hottest act on the English folk scene. This is just the duo, no guests, playing with the energy, the drive and the flair with which they have built their reputation. They're not frightened to tackle the 'big' songs of the English traditional with Jon Boden's vocal panache. "they tackle everything with such natural zest and vibrancy it sounds refreshingly contemporary and original"
