'Keeps alive the thoughtful, rebellious, radical Englishness found in the best folk music... Nineteen different voices from different decades, countries, traditions and concerns, but the solitary, alienated quality of Waterson's bleak, fearless songs ensures a mesmerising consistency. Buy this as your folk album of the year, not least because the music seems so contemporary and timeless that it could easily get away with not being called folk' (The Observer).

" La musique d'un peuple a des prolongements subtils dans la conscience des individus et peut influencer la nature profonde d'une société. La musique et son rythme s'imposent et se substituent à l'attention, définissant un périmètre à l'intérieur duquel la conscience ainsi subjuguée peut opérer."
