Debutely promoted in the fanclub newsletter from July 2009, the album was a success. It featured an untitled hidden track at the end of the album. The title track was voted the song of the year by BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, and won other awards. The cover of Peter Gabriel's "Secret World" was re-recorded for Covers 2.
