I must admit it was Rusby's version of Ray Davies' "The Village Green Preservation Society" that brought me on the trail of her music.

As a big fan of Davies, it's nice when new artists are able to bring new life to his wonderful songs - and this I think is really what Rusby has done in this case.

The fact that the song is quite atypical of her music does not really matter. I would compare the experience of hearing this CD to the first time I heard Sandy Denny's (Fairport Convention) version of "The Deserter" - incredibly beautiful and unspoiled voice.

Most songs are classic British folk music, although most songs are actually newly written originals by Rusby.

It can be difficult to emphasize some songs over others, since most songs are great and moving..

Title song "Awkward Annie" is in its simplicity, both charming and catchy.

"John Barbury" sounded very familiar when I first heard it. It is listed as a trditional, but actually it's the same melody as Richard Thompson's "Farewell Farewell" from "Liege and Lief" - could also Thompson borrowed a little from a traditional songbook. Great song at any rate.

Many songs are written in a style which is close to Sandy Denny's - this goes not least for the fine "Stream of Lovely Nancy."

"Daughter of Heaven" is almost unreasonably beautiful and touching.

Overall a very strong album with no songs falling through.
