"This is rather wonderful. We shouldn't, perhaps, be surprised. Eliza Carthy, Bella Hardy, Lucy Farrell and Kate Young have all earned their stripes along the way and (...) they go at it with a verve, vibrancy and determination that's impossible to resist. We know from her Christmas album that Bella Hardy is more than comfortable in other genres and she proves it again with an impudent version of the old Patsy Cline hit Walkin' After Midnight while the rest of the team doo-wop enthusiastically behind her. Those intuitively tight harmonies come into sultry effect, too, on the 1930s jazz blues classic, Why Don't You Do Right? - most closely associated with Peggy Lee - as the penny drops, that this mad idea (...) isn't merely a whimsical diversion but har clear potential for development and lasting impact ... If in doubt, they send those fiddles into driving overload on the wonderful hoedown Greasy Coat and take on an old Watersons singalong Chickens In The Garden tofeelgoodeffect. An unexpected little gem".
