"The Pratie Heads ...  their state's premiere performers of British Isles traditional music ... have made some of the best Celtic, English, and early American folk music available in recorded form. They have picked beautiful, uncommon songs to play, have thoroughly researched tunes and texts to produce the best possible versions, and have lovingly and impeccably arranged them. And still it emerges as spontaneous, joyful music - it's a rare gift they have. ... Peppler's voice is a clear soprano wonder with a feeling of intense but controlled wildness that she may owe to her training in Slavic and Balkan singing ... as amazing on fiddle as she is singing, [with] great tone on the slower tunes and real speed on the quick ones. My suggestion is to buy a copy of each tape, and then make a dub of each. Put the originals away in a cool, dark place and play the dubs. That way, when you've worn out your copies, you can repeat the process without having to pay for more tapes. Don't say I didn't warn you." Steve Winick, Dirty Linen Magazine

Those tapes Steve was talking about have been reissued on a double-cd set called "Early Fare." Since then, we recorded a cd in 2006 called "Rag Fair" and another in late 2008 called "We Did It! Songs of People Behaving Badly." You can buy the music directly at http://skylark2.com, or at our concerts.
