A precursor to 'Our Back Yard' and Breathing Space,' this reissue features five original songs by group member Brian Bedford, as well as eight others in the same English folk style. In addition to the listening pleasure afforded by the trio's lush harmonies, the group is also known for its incisive social commentary in the working-class tradition. The arrangements are simple and unaccompanied (except the sound of a loom in 'Poverty Knocks); their power is straight from the heart.
