Ewan now delivers his second album: mainly himself as before with just a little embellishment from John McCusker, Karine Polwart, Martin Simpson and Laurence Blackadder. Amongst his classy interpretations of traditional songs are two of his own compositions with 'The Last Bird To Sing' being particularly outstanding and worthy of being hailed as the song of the year. With much to live up to Ewan delivers a class album.
