Not my genre (hate that word but can't think of a better one). Good production quality and performed well. What I can't understand about European Folk style groups is why do they have to adopt American accents? I can totally understand singing in English to reach a wider audience but the accent thing adds nothing. But then English Folk groups all seem to want us to believe that they originate from the countryside somewhere near Herefordshire - and nobody knows where that is!

So my considered opinion (for what its worth). Its fine. I'd give it another listen but it doesn't knock my socks off. After all that I'm off to lay down in a darkened room.

I spent a few months in Sweden a few years ago and I have to say I think they're lovely bunch. I travelled from Stockholm to Malmo over a period of 5/6 months sampling the restaurants and nightlife in every town we stopped in which was normally 2/3 weeks in each town. I never came across one single aggressive person the whole time I was there despite severe drunken provocation from some of the lads I was working with there.

They loved practicing they're english speaking skills when they heard we were from an english speaking country. Great after a few beers! <cheers>

In another life I'd like to live there, such a clean and friendly country.
