Lazy Farmer's sole, rare album is solid and full-bodied. It was inspired by the 'old time American' mountain music with a repertoire heavily grounded in traditional tunes. With a quintet featuring four vocalists, two five-string banjo players, and two multi-instrumentalists in John Bidwell (flute, flageolet, guitar) and Jake Walton (dulcimer, hurdy-gurdy and guitar). With U.K. folk figure Wizz Jones, the band has a richer, deeper sound than many British groups with a similar style.
