Track Listing 

Katie Cruel – vocals by Colleen. A traditional American song going back to at least Revolutional War times. Covered by many people over the years, this is our arrangement. 

Milk and Honey – vocals by Colleen. Written by Jackson C Frank, a sad and beautiful song from his 1965 album. 

Nottamun Town – vocals by Colleen. An ancient British Isles song describing a world turned upside down and so oddly appropriate for the year 2020. 

Paranoid – vocals by Steve and Colleen. Guitar solo by Steve. The greatest of all heavy metal songs, written by Black Sabbath is actually a sad and beautiful folk song. 

She Moved Through the Fair – vocals by Colleen and Steve. The great traditional British Isles ghost story of love and loss. 

Who Knows Where the Time Goes – vocals by Colleen. Written by Sandy Denny before she joined Fairport Convention. A moving meditation on love and the terrible passing of time. 

Go Your Way – vocals by Colleen. Written by Anne Briggs and recorded on her 1971 album. A sad and beautiful song, arranged by He Mistook Her For A Swan.
