  • Description

    For the 15th anniversary of the album (and available on LP format for the very 1st time) Diana enlisted studio engineer Steve Addabbo, fresh from his work on Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series, to help her cast a retrospective eye over the tracks - together they reimagined the mixes and the running order and added a previously unreleased song 'Call Me Daddy', to reflect changes she has envisaged since the original release.

    Hailed variously in the press as the "Emily Dickinson of song," "The lost daughter of the Carter Family" as well as a "Hillbilly Feminist", Diana's breakout album 'My Remembrance Of You' (Proper Records) in 2006 garnered rave reviews internationally and set her on a path which would see her release five further critically acclaimed albums: Better Times Will Come (2009), High Atmosphere (2011), Museum Of Appalachia Recordings (2013), Live In Concert (2016) and Song To A Refugee (2020). She has toured the globe, including performances at prestigious events such as Cambridge Folk Festival, Galway Arts Festival, Levon Helm's Ramble in Woodstock, NY, and Bimhuis in Amsterdam, and shared stages with the likes of Richard Thompson, Janis Ian and Mary Gauthier.
