I've seen all of Kate's career and I've never been disappointed.I think her voice is sensational and the 'Sleepless' album is a great starter for anyone wanting to know more about folk music as even though all the tracks are songs some of them have additional tunes within them. 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 Town' by Iris Dement as it a beautiful song and 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 lass. Another of the finest songs of the album is 'All God's Angels' a duet with american singer Tim O'Brien.
The album has many guest musicans very famous with in the folk circuit such as Roger Wilson, Micheal McGoldrick and John McCusker.
I think everyone should give this a listen from toddlers to teenagers to great great grandmas as it is ageless.

Have to say I prefer Hourglass. Sleepless is a little "drippy" for me. Unfortunately it sounds a little like the new one "Little Lights" is leaning in that direction. Shame. She is, of course, superb live.

I have added to my review/opinion to give more of an idea of what the album is like i hope that is more helpful for everyone

Me again - I've just realised this is one of your first ops, and had to say that it is very good for a newbie. Keep it up and we'll all look forward to reading more of your stuff. A warm and friendly welcome to Ciao.
