  Life in a Paper Boat is the 14th solo album by Kate Rusby, released in October 2016.
  This CD includes the bonus track Big Brave Bill.
  
  The album features her signature mix of traditional and original songs, whilst marking a sonic development from previous releases: synthesizers and drum programming were used extensively throughout the record.
  
  Critics described the sonic change as "done in the best possible taste"
  You can get lost in the the soundscape.
  It's a modern context retaining all the elements of the folk tradition.
  
  The album's title track, written by Kate, was inspired by the European migrant crisis. In "Hunter Moon," another original, the moon is in love with the sun—and longingly tracks the sun's progress every day, from dawn to sunset.
