 This LP edition comes with the full album on CD too! An absolute bargain!

A stunning contemporary song collection written and performed by three friends, that looks set to be one of the most important new albums for Autumn 2008 (supported with tours in September, October and February). Testament to the quality of these new songs and the stature of the players, the album features performances from more of their successful musical friends: Norman Blake and Francis MacDonald (Teenage Fanclub), Philip Selway (Radiohead), Heidi Talbot, Donald Shaw (Capercaille), Andy Cutting (BBC Folk Musician Of The Year 2009) and Michael McGoldrick.

Both Solo and as lead singer and main writer in Idlewild, Roddy Woomble has already sold over 200,000 records in the UK alone. His previous John McCusker produced “My Secret Is My Silence” (Pure) won him a entirely new following within the new folk movement and this new 10 song collection leads on from that point, seeing him taking lead vocal on nine of the ten songs, backed by two of the finest young musicians this country has to offer in Kris Drever and John McCusker.

Kris Drever - also of the award winning LAU - sings “The Poorest Company”, a song originally aired in demo version (then called 'Steal What We Can') on the 'That's Proper Folk' album which has now sold over 50,000 copies), making both folk and rock pop markets well aware of the musical importance of this trio.

John McCusker has just returned from an eight month sell out world tour with Mark Knopfler and fresh from his recent appearance on Paul Weller’s number one album “22 Dreams” John is already busying himself with a new tour with Drever, McCusker, Woomble fitting in another appearance on Jools Holland’s Later (Paul Weller Special) on September 28th.
