I know, but you can pre-order and listen to samples.

It's all sounding good. Only one track with a Leccy as far as I can tell, but never mind.
And Darkside Wood is on there! Chris While! Ahh!!

As soon as Ralph wrote and sung Wild Cape Horn, I knew at sometime it would become a Fairport song, so suited to their style, great song.  At Ralph's 60th birthday celebration, Peggy played mandolin and it sounded really good. Don't feel the same about them covering Ralph's London Apprentice tho.  |

We can't even begin to tell you how chuffed we are and have been busting our buttons to tell you. It's an honour and a privilege to have one of your songs recorded by your "music heroes" and musicians you have respected since you were a teen. John Gale has done a great job on the production and I know all FC fans will agree with this  C & M x |

I have ordered it and apart from the stuff I heard on the Youtube clips from Denmark, I won't be listening to the samples so as not to spoil the fun. I'll wait until I put the disc in the CD-player to review the tracks. Btw, I don't think I could avoid buying any musical output from the band. |

Order it on CD? How quaint. It's a good point, well made. Even a late adopter like me is looking at that list and thinking "Do I really need another 14 songs, half of which I'll probably end up skipping through. Why can't I just have that one, that one and that one?" |

Is the photo of the 'Festival Bell' the proper album cover? Or is the cover art not finished yet?

Just got done listening to the previews, I think it has a great overall sound. Probably a few too many tracks, as someone already mentioned, but its a new album by my favorite group, thats always good news.
Earlier in this thread folks were talking about Fairport's lack of a real edginess these days, and something I always wondered (and forgive me if this has been mentioned here before), but way back when Chris joined he was playing a little electric guitar, such as on Spanish Main. I have wondered why they didn't explore a rougher, two player electric sound. It not being Chris's main instrument could have actually helped give it an edgier sound IMO, but maybe I'm alone in thinking that. I too, do not mind a little effects from Ric for that reason, it gives it a little edge I think is helpful. Cozy is nice...but sometimes a little danger can go a long way.

Don't feel the same about them covering Ralph's London Apprentice tho. Haven't had a chance to hear the extract yet but when i heard it on Ralph's album I thought it would suit Simon. I presume that Simon sings it? Does anyone know if the album will be on emusic or itunes? |

It may be, but I have heard band members speak of being burnt by mp3 "sales" in the past, so, doubtful.
No, I have no idea of details.
