WHAT’S THE STORY?: Danny and The Champion’s Of The World sing the kind of folk music that doesn’t really get written any more, if this album doesn’t make you want to don a flat cap, learn to play the banjo and drink real ale next to a canal, nothing will.
SOUNDS LIKE: the album that could have prevented Roald Dahl’s Danny having such a bloody depressing childhood.
YOU’LL LIKE THIS IF YOU LIKE: Owning songs that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young wouldn’t be ashamed to have in their collection, or indeed in their own back catalogue.
