Landmark album
The album that relaunched Tams musical career after years working in theatre and film (yes, that was him in the Sharpe films as singing Rifleman Daniel Hagman, the best shot in the Regiment). Drawing on a rich store of material, the set was a state of the nation address for the new millenium. Download the whole album, but if you need convincing try the Radio 2 Folk Awards best original song, 'Harry Stone', or 'From Where I Lie/Sheepcounting', a heart-rending tale of rural suicide. Wonderful.
