The AlbumA scorned lady, a wounded warrior, a deadbeat sailor, magicians and country lasses all come alive in this collection of traditional English story songs updated with some unique arrangements. By turns beautiful and whimsical, the three- and four-part vocal performances are supported by a generous serving of mandolins, dulcimers and strings.The CD comes with a pretty ribbon and wax seal, as if a rich noblewoman sent it. To keep everything in place, just cut the ribbon along the right edge with a pair of scissors or with the eating knife you keep on your belt… You do keep an eating knife on your belt, don’t you?The Artists/InstrumentationWren of Iniquity was formed by enthusiasts of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in California who met at the St. Helena’s Guild, home to more than a few pagans, vegans and libertines, and a hotbed of traditional arts. In past lives, they are vets of many genres, including folk bands, classical ensembles, madrigal groups, rock ‘n roll, blues, country and cover bands, stage and musical theater.
