Judy Dunlop and Ashley Hutchings, Sway With Me
 A Celebration of The Tree and Its Offspring

 

Albino ALB007 (CD, UK, 1991)

 

Un cd che nasce dalla collaborazione di Ashley con la cantante Judy Dunlop: tutti i brano sono il risultato di uno studio attento e di arrangiamenti non superficiali. A testimonianza di ciò si ascolti "Hanging Tree" cantata dalla Dunlop con Martin Charty alla chitarra e Swarbrick. "The Woodlands of England" inoltre, mette i brividi. Il booklet contiene i testi, sul fronte e sul retro di copertina compaiono fotografie di Ann Ashmore.
