Dancing Days (album)


Dancing Days is an album by Chris Leslie, released in 2004.
Compared to Chris Leslie's earlier album The Flow, this is much more of a recognisable instrumental folk-rock effort. Occasionally Chris drifts off into a reverie that sounds like a monastery in Tibet, but this is less obvious than before. He gives a sprightly performance of many morris dance tunes, then adds the oriental effects as a variation at the end of some tracks, punctuated by finger cymbals.
