Dr Ball

Hello, My name is Dr. Ball.

This is a cracking little collection of tracks, which all harbour their own individual and mystifying take on Cumbrian folk-tales. The first time I listened to this, I was reading through Mrs Ball's lady magazines with sheer boredom, and was thusly rescued by the titillating sound of the solway coast in musical form. In particular, 'the Beckfoot Gypsy" is an alluring track which truely makes one want to jump up and dance with the excitement of a million little pixies. The gentlemen at Gandalf's Fist have also introduced the very welcome female vocals on many of the new tracks, and as I always say to my nephew George - "George, there is nothing better than a woman's voice over some folky prog rock". Dr Ball only jests, but the statement is true all the same.

If you do not like this record, Dr Ball prescribes 6 chinese burns and a 9 hour flight in the seat next to an overweight gentleman.
