In 1972, Mike and Lal Waterson released an extraordinary album of their original songs, "Bright Phoebus". This magical collection of very English songwriting has long been acknowledged a classic and one of the finest achievements of the British folk revival. "Shining Bright" was conceived to pay tribute to Mike & Lal's remarkable songs, and it draws upon the songs recorded for "Bright Phoebus," and on a further dozen songs written at the same time but not previously recorded. Features 15 tracks performed by Norma Waterson, Dayteller, Maddy Prior, Richard Thompson, Eliza Carthy, Blue Murder, Dick Gaughan, Linda & Teddy Thompson, Helen Watson, Billy Bragg & The Blokes, Martin Carthy, Christine Collister & others.
