That's right, Frances England has announced an album title -- Family Tree -- and a release date -- spring 2008 -- for her 2nd CD. OK, "spring 2008" isn't really a release date (release season, perhaps?), but I know Frances has been working on the album for a while now, and to see her publicly commit to a title and release timeframe makes me happy.
I think artists in this genre tend to be more willing to have deadlines slip if only because many of them, unsurprisingly, have young kids. I'll be interested to hear what subjects England, whose own family tree is larger than when she released Fascinating Creatures, tackles now...
