Si tratta di
un ottimo album che nasce da un lavoro attento, frutto degli arrangiamenti
della Wayward band di cui fa parte anche il bassista Barnaby Stradling. Tutte
le composizioni sono di Eliza e della band ad eccezione di “The Flitter Song”
di Ewan McColl e di “Hug You Like a Mountain” di Rory McLeod. Il disco ha un inizio energico con due brani
tratti dal repertorio della Chetam’s Library di Manchester. Bella e suggestiva
la copertina disegnata da Cally. Tracks: 1.Fade &
Fall (Love Not) (4.22) – 2.Devil in the Woman (3.26) – 3.The Fitter’s Song (3.40)
– 4.Jack Warrell’s Hornpipe (excerpt) / Love Lane (4.38) – 5.Hug You Like a
Mountain (5.07) – 6.You Know Me (3.45) – 7.Great Grey Back (3.17) – 8.Mrs. Dyer
the Baby Farmer (Roud 2347) (5.40) – 9.I Wish That the Wars Were All Over (Roud
2036) (5.40) – 10.The Sea (4.31) – 11.Epitaph (2.54)
