Recognised as a fine interpreter of the late Sandy Denny's work - she was a regular in the so-called 'Sandy spot' at Fairport's Cropredy Convention for years - Vikki Clayton returns with a new studio album.
It's her first since 2001's Looking At The Stars, but the years between have left her clear, distinctive voice untouched, along with her expansive - verging on prog-folk - tendencies; eight of the songs here clock over five minutes long and her take on Reynardine (yes, sly old Reynardine) is an epic seven-and-a-half minutes. With 12 tracks in all, that means you're getting a lot of Vikki Clayton for your money.
