On 10, a celebration of Kate Rusby's first decade as a recording artist, she reminds us once again that it's possible to sing ancient ballads about brave knights, fair maidens, rustic villagers, and all the other denizens of Folk Song Land with an immediacy and emotional intensity that are completely modern. Four of the 15 songs here were culled from her earlier CDs; two new songs, "I Wish" and "Over You Now," were composed by Rusby; and two are live recordings
1. The Recruited Collier
2. I Wish
3. Over You Now
4. The Sleepless Sailor
5. The Fairest of All Yarrow
6. I Wonder What is Keeping My True Love
7. Sweet Bride
8. The Maid of Llanwellyn
9. The Wild Goose
10. Sir Eglamore
11. Night Visiting Song
12. Cowsong
13. Botany Bay
14. Drowned Lovers
15. Bold Riley
