Affecionados of British folk/rock should not miss out on this excellent album. John Tams is joined by colleagues from his No Masters Voice label to create this quiet but long-resonating album that many have been waiting a long time for. Even Linda Thompson adds vocals to one of the tracks. Fans of the Sharpe Epic Television series (shown on many PBS stations) will also find "over the hills and far away/through Flanders, Portugal, and Spain." Its about time!

2.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed, February 21, 2005

Unlike the other reviewers I was a bit disappointed with the CD. It's pleasant stuff, but having heard Tams sing in the Sharpe's Rifles series on PBS I was expecting more period, or folk music. So some of my disappointment is jsut that it wasn't what I was hoping for. The first two cuts have a country/western sound, and except for the "Spanish Bride" (which merely borrows from "O'er the Hills and Faraway" and "Spanish Lady") none of it's trad, although it might fit under modern folk. The talent is there however, so I am going to check out his other CD.
