Used to have this album after I came from a fabulous weekend at Cropredy back in 2003. I have always loved Folk Music but after that weekend in particular my love of Folk simply flew off the scale. Haven't heard the album for over 10 years but this was my favourite track on the album and it's just so wonderful to hear it again. Eliza was/is a beautiful peach of a woman with the voice which indeed could potentially threaten the dominance of angels and long may she find success.
