"Lullabies with Mandolins is exactly what the title suggests. You get a number of English nursery rhymes, such as "Lavender's Blue," "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "Dance to your Daddy," all performed like lullabies. They are mixed with some tunes from classical composers such as Grieg, Vivaldi and Schubert.
My favourite track is the extended version of "Golden Slumbers" (not the Beatles version). It starts with some beautiful a cappella singing that leads into an instrumental passage. Stretched out over more than five minutes, it is very moving.
They are two damn good musicians playing damn good music, and that will take them a long way. Clearly worth checking out."
