Pure Analogue Audiophile Mastering by Ray Staff at Air Mastering London

Limited Edition - Pressed at Pallas Germany

Another great Mary Black album remastered very well. Compared to the original pressing which is expensive and hard to find now there is greater weight and detail as the original sounds somewhat thin and harsh by comparison & A very quiet pressing seals the deal. LP Review

Re-mastering by Ray Staff at Air Mastering!

Irish singer Mary Black is well known for deftly combining her Celtic roots with contemporary folk. On this release, she offers another strong set of songs, as she interprets songs from American folk favorite John Gorka ("Treasure Island") and connects with Anglo-folk tradition on the lovely "One Way Donkey Ride" (written by Sandy Denny of Fairport Convention fame). The acoustic instrumentation feature a rich blend of guitars, fiddles, saxophones, and accordions that add a timeless feel to most of her songs.

The highlight of the album is "Loving Time," an emotional story of star-crossed lovers told with a bittersweet aching that few artists could deliver so poignantly.

Mary Black's voice remains an incredibly expressive instrument that makes this another solid effort.
