I adore Kate Rusby. She has the honey toned whisper down to a tee. Her celtic, fairytale, mythical song topics are something not grasped with enoguh modern music. Her gentle Irish lilt creates an atmosphere and a mood of ye olde folk-songs, something from long ago, something of the time of honour and legends. Since I adore all kinds of celtic fantasy, this is right up my street.

However... you knew there had to be a but and here it is... This album did not manage to 'speak to me' quite the way I was hoping for, as many of her other works did.

Also, this is most certainly not an album for any cynics, non-romantics, or people who don't understand to magical importance of folk-stories or nonsense-rhyme. If you don't like fantasy, steer clear!

I highly recommend this to anyone who has , just don't expect to be quite as blown away as you were before. Some of her songs that I had heard prior to this, such as 'I Am Stretched On Your Grave ' or 'Drowned Lovers' seem far superior in feeling and musicality.

Some songs on this album such as 'Elfi Knight' and 'Fare Thee Well' particularly stand out, and 'No Names' It truly struck a chord with me due to a personal situation at the time.

If you're alraeady a fan, you may be diappointed. Then I suppose it depednds on personal taste. For some truly fantastic creations, listen to her collaborations with Kaythryn Roberts. None of those disappoint.

It remains a good album regardless, due to the pure talent and originality of this amazing songwriter.
