Check out some of the following:
"10" - Kate Rusby

Very Nice Compilation

"This is a very good double CD. The sound quality and volume consistency are very, very good. (No need to raise or lower from track to track). Also, the songs flow well from track to track; obviously a lot of effort was taken on this. I just wish that some heavy hitters (Joni, Carly) were included. Eva Cassidy's take on Simon & Garfunkel's "Kathy's Song" is outstanding. Check out Philo records compilations (Philo So Far, Singers & Songwriters) as well!"
