Very nice folk album from the depths of time. From the first few notes I knew I'd dig this, the intro to track 1 is so sublime. 2-4 felt a little bit more like the kind of folk that necessitates to dig into the lyrics to enjoy but not so incredible instrumentally. But then it picks back up again, 5 being a super soft track (which 10 and 12 will be too, the later being the softest probably and a very nice closer). 6 is nice too, and 7 shows a bit of a more 'upbeat' side to folk which, while welcome, feels a bit incongruous with the soft mellow sad Ozzy-ish vocals. 8-9 are very nice as well and the album seems to get more instrumentally complex on these tracks, which really do not need one to look into what they say to be great listens. The harmonica on 11 brings a nice change, and is intelligently kept to a small contribution on that track alone. Will have to listen to this more. 4.1
