CD ReviewsSuperb collection of English songs - great acoustic guitar! Kevin Glover | Leicestershire, England | 08/11/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Anyone who appreciates great guitar playing, anyone who has ever enjoyed any traditional music - buy this CD!! The quality of singing, playing and recording are all superb. And he has the legendary Martin Carthy guesting on a couple of tracks. Carthy does not sing on this album, but his influence (both guitar style and vocal phrasing) are very evident on the title track. Most tracks are traditional songs (three are instrumentals). There is also a wonderful version of Cyril Tawney's "Sammy's Bar", which I think was written in the 1950's, when Tawney was serving in Malta. Difficult to pick out favourite tracks, but if pushed it would be Sammy's Bar and the two nautical songs - Polly on the Shore and Rounding the Horn.Martin Simpson was already recognised as one of the very best acoustic guitar players in the world. This brilliant album puts him in the top rank of traditional music performers." Superb Music and Story Telling Christopher Taylor Rorrer | 08/25/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "As a fan of Martin's music for many years, I didn't know what to expect when I first purchased this album. At the time I purchased this album, I had only really paid close attention to his album Golden Vanity (now long out of print), and after one listening to this album I was hooked. Martin's guitar playing speaks for itself, and the stories contained within the songs are superb. The music contained on this album is deeply rooted in traditional music and will keep the listener begging for more. Do yourself and favor and buy this album."
