Janet Russell is a very fine singer indeed and this CD has a grand collection of songs, many of them Scots traditional. The lively opening track 'Pretty Polly' comes from the "Female Warrior" section of the Greig Duncan Collection. A particular favourite is the sad but lovely Waly Waly Up the Bank, a song learned by Janet when she lived in Edinburgh.
Instrumental support from Tom McConville (fiddle), Najam Jawed (tabla), Steve Tilston (guitar) and Gill Redmond (cello)
