Kate Rusby's singing voice is a very honest one, revealing her northern accent, which I think is wonderful in this age of Pseudo-American pop singers. She manages to convey both complexity and simplicity in her well-crafted songs - which draw on traditional lyrics and original music.

The album opens with guitar used almost percussively in the intro to The Good Man - a highly unique, humorous and ambigulous song (traditional lyrics), and works its way through acoutic arrangements of guitar, piano, mandolin, and (i think?) xylophone... don't quote me!

Unfortunately, the album wanes a little in the middle, but the first and last few songs are memorable and lovely.

I have to say I haven't liked everything I've heard Kate do (slushy duets with Ronan spring to mind) but this album was the first I heard of her and a good introduction. I have yet to see Kate and band perform live, but would very much like to.

Good stuff.

love Kate Rusby but have to ask, why the duet with Keating...get a grip girl.

I've never heard of her, sounds like it might be the sort of music I'd like, so will keep my eyes and ears open for her.
