..."Ruth Barrett and Cyntia Smith produce music which faithfully recreates eras so far bygone that it reaches into our psychic depths of myth and imagination, emotionally transporting us in ways nothing on the radio can."
-----MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE

A timeless collection of original and traditional British Isles folk songs celebrating spring and midsummer. The title song reminds us of our connection with the Earth, and our transformations within the cycles of the seasons. This recording is filled with songs of celebrations and playful love.

..."few mountain dulcimer people can make the dulcimer sound as classic as can Ruth Barrett and Cyntia Smith... An additional bonus is the superb vocal quality of Ruth and Cyntia. The overall effect is one of classic beauty... Anyone with a love of music should thoroughly enjoy this album."
