The Books in My Library

There’s a line from Verlaine I’ll never recall,
There’s a doorway nearby where my footsteps they fall,
There’s a mirror that’s looked it’s last on my face
Amongst the books in my library, there are some I’ll never open again.
Paths left untravelled, tracks without trains,
A life lived uneasy though unfettered, unchained,
In freedom lies danger, in pleasure lies pain;
Amongst the books in my library there are some I’ll never open again.
Paper-thin shadows of Lost Hopes and Dreams
Diaries of Far Away places I’ve been Phonebooks of old under cracked window panes;
Amongst the books in my library there are some I’ll never open again.
Life’s great complexities laid out
in lines,
Impenetrable tombs, they’re so brave, they’re so fine,
James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, some Chekhov and Twain; Amongst the books in my library there are some I’ll never open again.
Lovers abandoned, wounds left undressed,
The remnants and strings of the old cuckoo’s nest,
Unfinished fine tall tales that once were begun;
Amongst the books in my library, there are some I’ll never open again...

Just getting back into folk music. In my folking days it was Nic Jones, Martin Carthy, Dick Gaughan, the Dansfields etc., and I was afraid there wouldn't be anything as good around today. I was wrong. This is beautiful and stands with the best.

Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current.
