pjthompsonI heard these ladies on NPR some little while back and totally fell in love with their music. I downloaded the CD right quick. They’ve taken traditional English ballads and updated them a bit—but not so much as to be obnoxious. I love all the music, but the haunting and beautiful title song from this CD, “Here’s the Tender Coming,” remains my favorite. It’s about a young lassie seeing her beloved carted off by the press gang and taken away to sea. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
