REVIEWS

SOUTHERN RAG: (Fore runner of Folk roots) by Colin Irwin

"Comes at you with the senses blazing, but with subtle guile. Much in the same

way that Robin Williamson has taken the poetic singer-songwriter stance of the

sixties a step onward by allying it with Celtic music. Walton offers a way forward

with intelligent, intricate arrangements and unusual instrumentals. Walton himself

is writing much more these days and here is the most striking advance. Written for

a Romany Gypsy 'Sunlight and Shade' is a song of rare beauty and depth".........

Sue Duff KASEBOOK
"Lovely eerie bass and pipes on 'Standing Stones' sounds sounds as if Jake was there

all those centuries ago! Really puts the hurdy gurdy to good effect on 'Black Sarah.'

A lovely album worth searching out".......
