A Thousand Hearts

First time on vinyl for this reissue Cara Dillon's fifth album. Well worth the wait, A Thousand Hearts follows the acclaimed Hill of Thieves, released in 2009 and named the Radio 2 Folk Album of the Year in 2010.

Produced and arranged by husband Sam Lakeman, the album features guest vocals from Timothy B Schmit (The Eagles), American singer/songwriter Aoife O'Donovan, and English folk musician John Smith.

The eleven songs on this new disc are an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary loosely themed around affairs of the heart. These include songs such as "Avalanche" a stunning cover of the Shawn Colvin song, "River, Run" a cover of little known 90's indie pop act Suddenly Tammy! and also traditional song "As I Roved Out" continuing the practice of taking better known folk songs and making them her own.
