Plain Sailing

Not another dodgy boating metaphor, but the title of an excellent music compilation that I stumbled across on a recent sonic ramble. The artists featured range from the familiar, such as Ben Watt, to the more obscure singer songwriters such as Tim Rose and Kathy Smith. Although the featured artists come from different eras, all share a unique approach to performing exquisite acoustic songs. One of the lessons that I have taken away from a good listen to  this album is that the unsung and underachievers often have most to offer if we would only give them the opportunity to spellbind us.
