(December 2004) 12 tracks: Angelina * Cheating Side of the River * Homeland * Long December Night * Restless Leaves * Raindrops on a Red Rose * Forget me Not * Sing it * The Weary Ploughman * This Old Town * The Curlew * Forget me Not.

Orkney-born singer-songwriter Ivan Drever made his name as the lead singer in Wolfstone, but has been a solo artist since the mid-1990s.

His previous album Tradition is a collection of his favoured folk songs, and 2003's Long December Night is an intimate live recording with long time musical companion Duncan Chisholm (also released on DVD).

"in fine voice throughout, accompanied by his highly accomplished guitar playing… evocative, beautifully crafted songs explore distinctive takes on familiar folk themes like love and loss, leaving the land, and emigration, with a touch of overt country influence thrown in" (The Scotsman)
