Recognised
The Folk Corporation TFCCD 2007 (June 02)

If you are looking for the perfect introduction to David Hughes, this is it. A seventy-minute compilation album, it comes jam-packed with the sharpest, driest collection of songs and inimitable acoustic guitar playing from the last decade of classic recordings by the king of "rhythmo-sardonics". This is David performing solo and with his remarkable collaborator, drummer and percussionist, Gerry Conway, and with stars from the acoustic music firmament: Jacqui McShee, Eddi Reader, Dave Pegg, Danny Thompson, Dave Mattacks, P.J.Wright, Chris While and Julie Matthews, and many more. This is David Hughes, the pick of Ned Sherrin's Radio Four "Loose Ends", of Bob Harris, Charlie Gillett and others coming to you in all his sharpest glory
