Arguably the finest finger style acoustic guitarist on the planet, Martin Simpson returns to Topic Records after a break of almost 15 years. Surprisingly, this is his first recording of exclusively English material - predominately traditional, completely English and totally outstanding. Martin Simpson's guitar and vocals have never sounded better, and classic traditional material is delivered in subtle and innovative ways.
