Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Arguably better than Nirvana's 'Nevermind', in my humble opinion. An incredibly well produced album of driving rock music.

Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Great album and one I haven't listened to for too long.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM!
If you do not know Gillian Welch then she is well worth discovering. We saw her on Jools Holland's show one Friday night and this was purchased within 24 hrs. Great, maudlin modern country music.


Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! I loved this when Golf bought it for me way back when. Quite melancholy (some would say depressing) but gorgeous.
