Editorial Review:

Album Description:
This amazing value Folk music compilation includes new and previously un-released music from some of the hottest names in folk. Five tracks are exclusive to this release - two are entirely unique to this CD and three are only available elsewhere on DVD.

The release coincides with the Channel 5 'My Music' series of four one-hour programmes in April 2008, with each centred on one particular contemporary folk artist: Seth Lakeman (6th), Kate Rusby (13th), Athena (20th), Eliza Carthy (27th).
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great value for money - a super introductory album
Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart, Luka Bloom (Christy Moore's brother Barry) - what's not to like? Anyone who has been in touch with the contemporary folk scene in recent years will find much to enjoy here. My own joy was finding a track by the wonderful Mary Gauthier - her "I Drink" was a festival highlight for me a few years ago. This CD is cheap enough for dedicated fans to give to friends who are convinced that folk is Fair Isle jumpers, beards and hands over ears.
This has to be the best value CD in my collection - not a duff track in the mix. There are several live versions as is common with albums of this type, but none that make you hastily skip a track. Buy it, you know it makes sense. If you want to do something "folky", it's ... Read More:


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Unbeatable value!
Whether or not the contents is strictly "folk" is rather academic as you get so much excellent music for a mere £2. It takes me back to the days of "Sampler" LPs, other record labels could learn a lot from this CD..

Some great stuff here - I'm sure I too am going to buy at least one album from the artists featured...
Quite frankly it's so cheap you have nothing to lose...


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Thats really proper folk
Great,well worth the money. From a folk fan of many years standing.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - superb sampler at a bargain price
The lovely people at Proper Music have done us proud. For just £1.99- less than the price of a cup of coffee- they have put together a 13-track sampler on which there is not a single duff track. In fact, there are a number of absolutely stunning moments here for anyone who loves quality songwriting.

As has been noted, this is a sampler, not a full-priced compilation, so there is a certain amount of mix and match involved. Personally, I don't think that's a problem. Not while we have the beauty of Cara Dillon's voice, a superbly-constructed song from Martin Simpson, a slightly 'experimental' moment from Eliza Carthy's new album, a great version of a traditional sea shanty... all this and the song from the Magner's ad too...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not proper folk
The title seems specific enough, but is a misnomer. This is a variable hotch-potch - covers multiple genres - a bad thing given the title! For example the first track is a trumpet based samba type track with most of the lyrics being talked over the backing rather than being sung ... didn't bode well. I love Martin Simpson and his live track is excellent...possibly better than the album track.... but I had this track already. Just don't expect too much fiddle, squeezebox etc. Interestingly it seems to get more like 'proper folk' as the CD progresses. The first time I played it I only got half way before I felt cheated and turned it off. I then played the second half in the car and replayed the earlier tracks. I don't dislike any of it ... just ... Read More:
