Raw, earthy, unaccompanied English folk singing

"I first heard this album on vinyl many years ago, and it instantly captivated me. The depth and range of voices is amazing - as is the range of songs. 'Country Life' contrasts the powerful vocal chorus of the whole family with a thin, almost wavering male voice - but boy, do the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! That song and several others have haunted me for years - I'm only too glad to be able to hear the full album once more. This is English Country folk at its peak - do your ears a favour!"

"If you're a fan of Blues,Rags, and Hollers, Steeleye Span, Pentangle, the Carter Family, the Young Tradition, the Anonymous Four or just brilliant acapella music, do your ears and soul a favor and buy this album. Had it been an LP I'd have worn it out by now. A must for lovers of pure British folk music. Trust me on this one."
