Excellent album. And I do really like the tracks featuring MC Soom T, the female Glaswegian rapper. The band are currently "on hiatus", sadly. I was lucky enough to see them a couple of years ago and they did a great live set.

I've a few recent acquisitions that I haven't got around to listening to yet, but the most recently listened to is:

Laylam: Carthy Hardy Farrell Young.

That's Eliza Carthy, Bella Hardy, Lucy Farrell and Kate Young, so four young female folkies. I'm always wary of such combination, but actually this works well, and the album includes some excellent tracks. Wide range of sources of the songs, from trad. folk to Patsy Cline and Peggy Lee.

The Coal Porters - Find The One (Prima)

Sid Griffin and Co in excellent form and produced by folk studio legend John Wood. Richard Thompson guests on robust acoustic rock n roll guitar stylings on "Hush U Babe". Often considered bluegrass revivalists, both the Coal Porters' environment - in the midst of the English nu-folk thing, if indeed it's still on - and Griffin's distinctively tasteful writing marks them out as something a bit more interesting and complex than that. They are no more bluegrass revivalists than the Byrds were just because they dug the Dillards.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Push The Sky Away

Deceptively laid-back for a Seeds album, but with the air of menace underlying it that Mr Cave does so well. Good stuff.

I had a neighbor who played 50 Cent's "Candy Shop" 24/7. If I'd come home from work surprised and overjoyed that it wasn't bumping through the wall, it would always start up two minutes later. I just figured he was insane.

Youngest daughter normally acquires Young Mr Turner's albums first, but I think she's a bit preoccupied at the moment. I gather she's going to see him at the weekend, so she may purchase it there.

Blackbeard's Tea Party: Whip Jamboree

York-based six-piece dancy punky folk-rockers with an album that's damn fine fun.

I also have Mr Earle's new CD but haven't quite listened to it yet.

Phil Odgers (Swill from The Men They Couldn't Hang): The Godforsaken Voyage.

Liking it a lot so far. It has some of the usual folkie suspects guesting on it, including John Jones from Oysterband and Eliza Carthy.
