The Men They Couldn't Hang - The Magnificent 40:
40 Years In 40 Songs: 3CD
 Forty years of recording has spawned a vast back catalogue, well represented here by songs from each album, style and era, a tapestry of human stories and vibrant characters. So there are the fast sprints like early folk hoedown ‘Ironmasters’, the frantic shanty ‘Raising Hell’ and the amphetamine punk blues of ‘Going Back to Coventry’. Then there are the waltzing folk ballads, from their impassioned version of the anti war standard ‘Green Fields Of France’ to the bitter regret of ‘The Bells’ and the righteous testimony of ‘Our Day’. Elsewhere there are anthems galore, all here, on this splendid 3cd set.
