Comments from previous entry:

I was a bit concerned following MH's & Tracy's views, but this appeals greatly to me. I've always been a sucker for Kate's minimally accompanied efforts, and this seems - on first listen - as if it's the album I've been waiting on Kate to drop for ages.

Suitably barking mad, this is a collection of songs concerning snow. A bit early for that here, but not in Canada !!. Definitely wrong for the southern hemisphere. The title track, with Steven Fry is as strange an idea for a song as I've heard for ages, but it works well IMV.

The whole thing works well, in fact, and Kate's lovely voice appears still to be in fine fettle.

Great album.

All I'd add that is that this a bit of a masterpiece of understatement IMV. Plus the weather here is a bit more suited to the album now, with snow forecast for the coming weekend.


AllMusic 4/5 stars.
