There is earthy folk music; how you would imagine it to be in wood panelled, nicotine stained pubs, and there is the folk music of the Doghouse Roses, who's spirit reminds of Scottish stone circles in the moonlight.
Etheric, pure, nearly angel-likeso you are forced to grab deep in the drawer of adjective to describe the voice of Iona Macdonald. With this voice she presents the immaculate melodies with contemporary lyrics which are flattered by the virtuosity of Paul Taskers' guitar playing. This record is very beautiful to listen to and perfectly arranged, but all this perfection can momentarily be a little sterile. Overall Marvellous
