• Track Listing

This is deliberately an album of English music, writes Martin Carthy in his notes. "It is neither possible nor desirable to set up musical border checkpoints anywhere. However, there is that elusive and ever changing thing called identity." Assisted by members of Eliza Carthy's band and the voices of other members of the family, Waterson: Carthy sing and play such timeless English anthems as "Claudy Banks" & Hares in the Old Plantation," ending with a stirring performance of the hymn "Stars in My Crown," dedicated to the English playwright Dennis Potter.
