Unless I've not been paying attention, I haven't seen mention of this around here. Looks intriguing:

It does indeed, a lovely album.  Garth Hudson is marvellous throughout, Dave Davies something of a revelation, Graham Parker on fine form, and The Band Played On was made for RT.

I love that Ian.  The Kim Richey and Christine Collister tracks sound wonderful.  Oh and that RT track is quite superb also.  :)

Delightful, but it does remind me of the old radio 2 sunday programme "Sing Something Simple"... Dare i say it, I actually did like that programme.

It was helped though by my hearing the Cliff Adams singers, with Jack Emblow (on the accordion) on an LP of bawdy rugby songs... My sense of humour was tickled that the same "safe song singers" were knocking out those rugby songs with some relish.

It's an interesting concept and a good album. I played the Heidi Talbot & John McCusker track on my radio show back in April.

You can give it a listen here - http://www.mixcloud.com/cmbertram/the-folk-and-acoustic-music-show-29/

I'm sure Jack played on one of Sandy's albums ("Waltz"?) and on a Stackridge LP... Man With The Bowler Hat, I think.
