Where's Tim O'Brien? Why does Tim O'Brien only sing one duet...on one song..on one album? "All God's Angels" is great with Tim O'Brien! Kate and Tim should have made a whole duet album, in my opinion.

Kate Rusby is a consummate professional and I love her music deeply. Her voice is so pure. I love these songs. They will move your heart, and then you will want more of her stuff.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kate when I owned a Celtic Imports company (Gael Force Imports and a Celtic Music Magazine called the Reed and Chanter). She enthralled me with her warmth and talent, I was an instant fan. Kate's recordings are real treasures I can not pick out ONE that isn't brilliant. Her voice displays the passion that she has for this type of folk music. Her mix of traditional tunes and self composed music is worth exploring. Her voice is comforting and shines with each note. This 2 CD set contains newer versions of some of her best work produced over the last 20 years. The selection of fellow musicians that she has chosen to perform with is a list steeped in tradition and even a few surprises like her version of "who will sing me lullaby’s" with Radiohead's Phil Selway or Kate and Mary Chapin Carpenter singing "Home" So, it is with great pleasure that I whole heartedly recommend ANY of Kate’s recordings. And this new CD set doesn’t disappoint. Browse the samples and you will see why her fans exude such great passion for her music and follow her career closely now for the last 20 years (good gracious how it can be that long) Thank you for your time.

For anyone who is not familiar with Kate Rusby's fine oeuvre of excellent music, by all means jump on in and see why so many of us (fans and critics alike) simply cannot get enough of her. It's great to see some old favorites ("Planets," "Mockingbird" and "Wild Goose") get a new coat of paint, but it is the sheer brilliance of this retrospective that leaves me breathless at what a talent Kate Rusby possesses. She is a true folksinger in that each one of her tunes is filtered through the voice of an extraordinary storyteller. Good on you, Kate -- you hit this one out of the park. Here's to another "20."
