Rating: - buy this
Who cares whether it's proper folk; it's proper good and at an indecently low price

Rating: - a lot of fun on this cd
I don't really know what proper folk is but this cd is a lot of fun-sent me looking for other stuff the various artists have done. certainly the best thing i've done with £2 for a very long time. Buy it!

Rating: - Fun
A selection of short stories, rich in meaning, but with no pretensions. Great fun to listen to again and again, especially on long car journeys, because as each Country of origin or Story-teller changes we become alert and ready. Am so impressed that I really want to buy another compilation album like this.

Rating: - Great value for money - a super introductory album
Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart, Luka Bloom (Christy Moore's brother Barry) - what's not to like? Anyone who has been in touch with the contemporary folk scene in recent years will find much to enjoy here. My own joy was finding a track by the wonderful Mary Gauthier - her "I Drink" was a festival highlight for me a few years ago.

Rating: - Unbeatable value!
Whether or not the contents is strictly "folk" is rather academic as you get so much excellent music for a mere £2. It takes me back to the days of "Sampler" LPs, other record labels could learn a lot from this CD..

Some great stuff here - I'm sure I too am going to buy at least one album from the artists featured...
Quite frankly it's so cheap you have nothing to lose...
