If your appetite for English harmony singing has been deadened by a surfeit of mannerism merchants and tempo-draggers, hear this and have your faith restored. Folk Roots Critics Choice Folk Roots. Infectious and richly textured dance music from traditions across Europe create delight in this first outing by The Tokes. Virtually every instrument known to woman is blown, bashed, squeezed and bowed to produce a truly joyful noise capable of raising a grin from 'ere to right over there. First solo album by the outstanding song-writer and singer.
Lyrical observation meets resonant rock n' roll.
In short, brilliant. Folk Roots Critics Choice 1992 and 1993.
