Album Notes

Beautifully filmic, these performances of folk songs from Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Mexico and France have a dark and timeless quality. This re-issue also includes a stunning version of Sandy Denny’s ‘who knows where the time goes’.
Sally’s warm and pure voice is sometimes accompanied by just Spanish guitar and flute and at others by piano, rich cellos and violins.

“Quite unlike any other ‘folk’ record currently out there. The restrained use Spanish Guitars, Indian percussion, piano, cellos, clarinet and Sally’s occasional Eastern vocal intonations invest the album with a spiritual and soulful hue.
Dark and haunting ‘Black is the Colour’ is as absorbing as it is beautiful”
Get Rhythm, UK

“A precious gift to all lovers of stirring music and essential purity. My special recommendation” Zinnober, Germany
