The compilation is cheekily packaged as a competitive folk-off, with North America and the British Isles each getting one full disc to prove their supremacy, ignoring for the moment the enormous musical debts the two regions owe to one another. The selection criteria gets even more lax and confusing on the album's British Isles side, which ranges from the strictly traditionalist (Deep Elem's "Lost in the Woods') to the k-whatsoever (Same Actor's "Nothing Yet"). Of course, such genre distinctions wouldn't matter much if the mix were consistently entertaining.

The term American folk music encompasses numerous music genres, variously known as traditional music, traditional folk music, contemporary folk music, or roots music. Many traditional songs have been sung within the same family or folk group for generations, and sometimes trace back to such origins as Great Britain, Europe, or Africa all the music that fits between the cracks.

The Bell Beaker folk readily mixed with any new culture they encountered, including the Neolithic farmers they found in Britain, and Bell beakers have been found in megalithic tombs, with the henge temples of the Neolithics. They improved the existing temple at Stonehenge, which is proof that they got on well with the original inhabitants, and at Avebury they made another great henge monument. This is a large circular ditch and bank, and within it was a ring of standing stones - although these have now gone  . The Celts were people who spread over Europe from the 6 to the 3 century .

Folk songs of the past were generally transmitted orally. Singers often modified a song after they discovered it, either deliberately or accidentally. I enjoy most of the folk music from around the Isles. There were a lot of progressive folk bands in the sixties and seventies. Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention. Many of there songs were taken from old and the topic matter was of these times. I was going to write English folk songs, but haven't got round to starting it yet apart from the title! You did it much better than me so I will delete and start again a new one. That first song, the cherry? if that was the original tune then I can see where Donny got his song, twelfth of never! I totally enjoyed this!

The British Isles He between longitudes 2°E and 1TW and latitudes 50° and 6TN. Yet the country has a relatively mild climate throughout the year due to maritime influences. Off the northern coast of Scotland, separated from the mainland by the stormy Pentland Firth are the Orkney Islands, comprising about a hundred islands. The Shetland Islands are situated about 70 miles north of the Orkneys. They provide thin poor soils suitable only for rough pasture. North and north-west winds often bring heavy falls of snow to north Britain during late October and November, but they are usually shortlived. Continental winds from the east sometimes reach the British Isles in summer as a warm, dry air-stream, but they are more frequently experienced in winter when they cross the North Sea and bring cold, continental-type weather to eastern and inland districts of Great Britain.
