Orchard, The - Lizz Wright

Advantages: All the family will enjoy it, classic songs
Disadvantages: BBC Radio 2

...I bought this CD last year because I always liked the Steve Wright show, and was pleased when I saw this album for sale. The album has a few classic songs on it that i love listening to. There is a good mix of music on this CD which all of the family can enjoy. The oldest songs are classics and the young members of the family have heard them.
