1. Poor Mum- I don't really like her voice, it's almost TOO British sounding lol. The music is too simple to really comment on but it suits the song.

2. All My Trails- Sounds just like a couple of songs on Pink Moon, but it's good, they harmonize really well.

3. Come Wind Come Rain- This is actually one of my favorite Vashti songs, what instrument is she playing that makes that high pitched twing sound?

4. Farewell, Farewell- One of the ones I haven't heard of before and it's good, I wouldn't say anything special, but I've only heard two songs from them now. Her voice is amazing though.

5. Come All Ye- Sounds almost like modern American country music, I don't really like the music at all.

6. Let No Man Steal Your Thyme- This is one of my favorite songs from the whole compilation, that low pitched sound that opens and stays in the song though is annoying.

7. Once We Were Anarchists- An amazing song from an amazing man, I can't really say anything else about this one.

8. The Gypsy King- I was expecting something "poppier" but this is a pleasent suprise, the sounds mesh really well, really solid song.

9. Mayfair- I wouldn't say it's one of his best songs, I think Which Will would have worked better in this slot.

10. Love Song- She's amazing, this song has a completely different sound and feel from Come Wind, Come Rain.

11. Just Another Diamond Day- The flute(?) sounds amazing and goes will with her voice in this song as she made her vocals a bit more airy.

12. Annan Waters- Is that low pitched sound in the intro the same that's in The Pentangle song? Just something I noticed. It's a really good song though, definitely more poppy, could almost get played on the radio, but it's a lovely song.

13. A New England- I don't care for it, the music is boring and I don't really care for the lyrics, they seem kinda dry.

14. Wolf Song- I already really loved this song, a more folkier side of his stuff, not sure if I like it more than his pop stuff, but it's great, really lovely song.

15. Pigeon Song- The music isn't anything special but th lyrics and vocals are good.

16. The Hazelwood- Same as above

17. Thatcher ****ed The Kids- One of my favorite songs of his, really catchy.

18. Sunshine State- This makes me want to listen to that ep more, I had forgotten how much I liked this song. He really shows off his musicianship in this song and it sounds great.

19. The Ballad Of Me and My Friends- I never cared for this song, I think Romantic Fatigue would have worked better as a closing song.
