This CD is, in my opinion, much better than PC & RB's last one, Turning Point, which is good. On this they let themselves expand a bit more, no longer confining themselves to the fiddle and cello, but using more instruments, and singing a bit too.There are 4 songs on here, all rather good. Everything is English, or written by somebody English. Judging by the sleeve notes, a huge amount of research went into this, dredging up manuscripts by hardly-known musicians from the depths of the 17th century and the like. But also some very cool modern stuff in there as well. Definitely worth getting.
