This album is Dave's second and is just Dave on vocals and guitar. However his picking style provides all the accompaniment needed and I was never conscious of any of the songs needing any beefing up. This album is very much about the songs, which are all written by Dave. He is a great guitarist with a very distinctive style which compliments the very high quality of the songs. They tell stories in a very direct way - you can understand what they are about - and they are sung clearly and cleanly. The subjects are as diverse as pirates, reincarnation, laziness and the horrors of Stalingrad. Some of them show a fine sense of humour. There is a lot in this album to listen to and it is well worth the effort.Simon Brown - Folk on Tap
