South Yorkshire songstress Shirley Howitt and guitarist Jan Howitt release this collection of music spanning their discography. The album features catchy songs from their earlier independent albums with both guitars being played without fault and with beautiful finger-picking. It flows nicely and no track seems out of place. Unfortunately, it often sounds repetitive and more musical variety is desired by possibly including a bridge section in most of the songs, and Shirley Howitt doesn't use her vocal range very extensively - it'd be nice to hear some higher notes every once in a while!
