"I played traditional English/Irish music for many years but I can listen to and enjoy anything. What drew me to this group was a snippet of "Taxman" that I found on the web when looking for something else. I bought their "Rolling Home" (Green Linnet) album on the strength of it and, although I prefer more of the selections on that recording than this one, there are some superlative efforts here. Their version of Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight", all three Billy Marlowe songs and particularly "Bonaparte's Retreat" and "Taxman" are extremely well done. They all remind me of the raw, earthy but accomplished output that you could find in many of the pubs and clubs that I used to frequent."
