From the lyrical to the triumphant, from contemporary arrangements to raw unaccompanied ballads, this powerful collection brings together a dazzling array of musical styles and approaches. Love, abandonment, defiance, resignation, the joys of home and the wildness of wandering - the experiences of women are celebrated by some of the most distinctive female singers today - British folk music at its most surprising best.
A specially produced selection of outstanding songs written in the first person, from a woman's point of view, sung by women whose voices have helped define the music that we call "folk".

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
