...after the show. Sleepless is her second solo album (her third has just been released - Little Lights). The album is made up of 11 songs, some happy, some sad. Each song tells it's own little story.... 1. The Cobblers Daughter Written by Kate herself, she sings of a cobblers daughter who has a bad reputation and refuses to marry.

Alot of my friends have heard of Kate Rusby though this album always being on my stereo and now are big fans!! My favourite track would have to be Kate's arrangement of 'Our ... ...she is known to love her home town, Barnsley, South Yorkshire so it is very fitting. This album got Kate Rusby nominated for a Mercury Music Prize and rightfully so. Some of them are traditional and some written by Kate for example 'The Wild Goose' traditionally a sea shanty,orginally sung by beefy men, Kate has rewritten the tune and it has become almost a love song about a boat 'The Wild Goose' parting of unrequited lovers; sung by a tiny Yorkshire ...
