'Pleasure's Coin' is a rip-roaring, toe-tapping tour de force of a second album. One cannot fail to note that these are three of the most talented musicians on the Scottish (and wider) Folk scene, and the presence of some of the biggest names in traditional music accompanying Lori Watson, Innes Watson and Johnny Somerville shows that they've long since shed the "newcomer" label.

It is comforting, and indicative of the youthful vigor of Scotland's folk scene - to hear influences from contemporary line-ups such as 'Lau' and perhaps even a young 'Malinky' weaved throughout this beautifully refined and impeccably produced album. To those who claim that folk music is a stayed, old fashioned genre for conservative purists - I would insist that they listen to 'Pleasure's Coin'.

It's service to the scene is more than just 11 well recorded tracks, it is a further shifting of the boundaries of traditional music and an evolutionary milestone during one of the most important (though often overlooked) periods of folk music revival since the 1960's.

Rule of Three's take on the surreally amusing 'Floo'er O' Northumberland' is surely a seminal version of the traditional border ballad, the likes of which have not been seen since Dick Gaughan's 'No More Forever'.

Watson's grasp of Scots song is up there with the Polwarts, Smiths and MacKinnons of this world. This combined with expert musicianship and a passionate understanding of the genre makes her the driving force of the band, which in turn is establishing itself as a driving force in Scottish folk music.
