		Cann's enduring legacy is not only to be found in his extensive repertoire of Dartmoor dance tunes but in his innovative mastery of the melodeon.
		A useful comparison can be made with Billy Pigg in the assessment of Cann's importance.
		If the definitive "soul" of the music of the North-East is to be found in the intuition and improvisation of Pigg's pipes, then it's South-West counterpart is here in the drive and dexterity of Cann's melodeon.

		a cast list of Billy Pigg, Colin Ross, Jack Armstrong (sound clip - Rothbury Hills), Willy Taylor, Kathryn Tickell, Joe Hutton, Pauline Cato and others guarantees that the record is sheer quality from end to end.

		The 21 tracks feature giants of the traditional scene such as Billy Pigg, the High Level Ranters, Willie Taylor, Joe Hutton and Anthony Robb as well as more recent champions of the music such as Kathryn Tickell and Chris Ormston.
		The tracks were recorded over the course of 45 years, in the studio and in the field (although the sound quality is high throughout).
		The relevant tracks range from the frenetic style of Billy Pigg, the more stately Jack Armstrong, a pibroch-like piece from Anthony Robb, the more ornamented style of Chris Ormston and the cosmopolitan playing of Kathryn Tickell.
