Track: The Moon And The Sun

$0.23

Artist: Heidi Berry
“Just gorgeous, a beautifully crafted slice of pop folk for anyone who finds Sandy Denny, Linda Thompson, or Eliza Carthy and their ilk (if women like that can be thought of as *having* an ilk)irresistible. The whole album is fantastic, and Heidi is definitely deserving of a wider audience... be the first one on your musical block to discover her; you won't be disappointed.”
