All the songs on this album are thick with atmosphere. This- Beverleys composition-has atmosphere as thick as treacle, and her voice is top notch here.

This is the landmark album for both these artists, showing them moving away from the normal folk conventions. Wish they could've knocked a couple or 3 more out as good or near this, at least. Despite the 'problems' written about, they were great as a duo, and both wrote very strong material and performed exqusitely.

Ta' fer this!!

Bev, the forgotten folk great

I agree this is an amazing album with many very strong tracks. For me, though, I don't think John adn Beverley did a track together that ever really showed just what Beverley was capable of. Anyone who is lucky enough to have heard her singing (or recordings of it) with the Levee Breakers before she hooked up with John will know what I'm talking about. Those performances, when she was just 16, were incredible.
