"Yarns" is full of both humour and nostalgia.
author: A. Swabey
I wore my original cassette version of this album out! Booth is an incredible yarnspinner and a talented folk musician. Hearing this album gives the listener the sense that a master storyteller has just settled in for a spell. "Yarns" is full of both humour and nostalgia, it will bring tears to your eyes. Pull up your chair and listen to the stories Booth has to tell, you'll be glad you did.
