Fairest Floo'er
Fairest Floo'er is the third studio album by Scottish folk musician Karine Polwart, released on 10 December 2007. "Fairest Floo'er" is one of two albums that Polwart recorded in 2007 during a break from live performances; Polwart was pregnant with her first child whilst recording. 
Unlike her other solo albums, "Fairest Floo'er" mostly comprises traditional songs. It also differs from her other albums in its sparse instrumentation; instead of a full band, Karine is backed only by her brother Steven Polwart on guitar,
help co-write and provide backing vocals for his solo album, "My Secret is My Silence", whilst Polwart provided several original songs for the BBC Radio 2 music/social documentary series "The Radio Ballads". Two of these songs, "Can't Weld A Body" and "Firethief", would later appear on her albums "Fairest Floo'er" and "This Earthly Spell" respectively. Polwart also supported The Beautiful South on their tour and she guested with David Knopfler at The Globe Theatre for a charity
