'Carey Blyton, who died in 2002 at the age of seventy, was
   at his best as the composer of songs and could justifiably
   be placed alongside the rich English school of mid-twentieth
   century vocal masters - composers like Roger Quilter, Michael
   Head, Armstrong Gibbs, Ivor Gurney. Though his song output
   does not equal them in quantity, there is a quality in the
   simple directness and clarity with which he nursed the
   poetry through his musical contours and gave it an appeal
   that is a delight for both performer and listener. Upbeat
   has already issued three CDs of Blyton songs, and this
   recording is a compilation which includes a selection of
   the best.'
