Customer Reviews

I prefer 2007
Good broad sample of new folk, great value - a few tracks are dire but then one man's great is another's awful. 3 cds, well 2 and a half, good value

Excellent intro!
Ok...so I'm new to the folk scene, but what an introduction. Excellent!!
Made me want more and feel more confident about exploring the possibilities.
