Notes
The fifth solo album, the first in two and half years released from Rough Trade. In Japan, it's released from Universal International though in the US, it's still released from Compass like her former albums. Japanese release has two tracks as bonus tracks for Japan only, but both are said to be included in the forthcoming Driftwood, which is to be released in April.

Most of the songs are written or co-written by Boo Hewerdine, while there's a cover song of Jackson C. Frank's Blues Run the Game which is also cevered by Bert Jansch and Simon & Garfunkel. While most of support members are familiar, it's a kind of a nice surprise that ex-bandmate Simon Edwards plays Guitaron on I Felt A Soul Move Through Me. Eddi plays guitar herself on four songs.
