    • Source: Sweet Liberty (album)

      • Sweet Liberty is the second solo album from folk artist Cara Dillon. It was recorded at their home studio in Frome, Somerset. Similar to her debut album, Sweet Liberty was produced and recorded by Sam Lakeman, her husband and musical partner. Additional production was by John Reynolds, who also plays drums on the album and mixed it along with Alan Branch.
      The album features Dillon's popular version of Tommy Sands' folk song on sectarianism and The Troubles in Northern Ireland, "There Were Roses", which was recorded especially for Billy Connolly's TV series Billy Connolly's World Tour of England, Ireland and Wales. The popularity of Dillon's version of the song led to a BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards nomination for Tommy Sands in the Best Original Song category.
      Promo 1-track singles of "High Tide", "There Were Roses" and "Everywhere" were sent to radio to encourage airplay of the album. A 4-track album sampler was also released prior to the release of the album, including "Black Is the Colour" and "Blue Mountain River" from Cara Dillon and "There Were Roses" and "Everywhere".
