A little more effort than I intended but yeah, I'll go for that.

Susan McKeown - Belong

I didn't know anything about her but this is a grower. I picked it up solely on the cover art and love it, it keeps getting better.
it's folk / Americana with tinges of Dayna Kurtz, Diana Jones, Alison Krauss, Natalie Merchant, Michelle Shocked.

her early albums "Bushes & Briars" and "Bones" are just brilliant. I should still have CD copies around here somewhere. She was a familiar sight on the Irish scene for quite a while, I think she's Scottish or Welsh (but I could be mixing her up with Katel Keinig who was popular around the same time). Nice find Derek, and it's good to know she's still producing good music.

Edit: Just looking at her website now I see she's from Dublin!

Second hand vinyl sounds great :)

Liege & Lief is a good album; unfortunately I only have it on CD.

Hamish Imlach singing Black is the Colour....

Something really special from an extraordinary band.
