5 / 5	Best Folk album in the world.....EVER A. Hill (Kent) - 2 April 2008 This isn't really a sampler, more a fantastic compilation of the very best folk artists on the scene at the moment. All for under £2. What better way could there be to dip your toe into folk music? If Heineken made folk albums......
5 / 5	Superb Graham Jones - 13 April 2008 Not being a great folk fan (that may now change) heard Mike Harding play a track of this, thought it was Steve Earle, turns out it was written by him.Decided to buy it on the strength of that one song No better way of spending two quid, and I will now check out several of these artists, whoever put this together ... great idea.
4 / 5	Amazing variety and standard David Crompton (Allendale, Northumberland United Kingdom) - 10 April 2008 I don't even especially like folk but what a great compilation this is for the money: it makes me want to follow up on some of the artists, see some live etc so I hope everyone will benefit from this lovely cd coming out at such a low price
3 / 5	It's a sampler, not a compilation. Remember that. Adrian Ogden (Reading, England) - 30 May 2008 13 tracks, 5 exclusives, and you get the "Galway Girl" song from the Magners Cider ads. All for two quid. Bargain! So why no five stars? Well, if you're already a fan of folk you should snap this up. But for anyone else I offer this caveat: it's a collection of good material, but it's unbalanced as an album. It's predominantly downbeat, and I found listening to it a rather bleak experience, only picking up for the last two tracks. So if you have only a passing acquaintance with folk and want a better introduction I'm not convinced this is it. Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets in buying it. But it's one that I'll add to my MP3 player and leave to the whim of random play; it's not something I would listen to again at a single sitting. ... Read Full Review »
5 / 5	Modern folk delight CRB "CRB" (Brighton, UK) - 15 April 2008 A superb introduction to many of the best names in the modern wave of folk music. An absolute bargain.
