"Sitting Pretty" includes material specifically about Medway, such as Flying Isaac - a jolly ditty about nineteenth century prostitution in Chatham, and No Ships - written to accompany a BBC documentary commemorating the 20th anniversary of the closure of Chatham Dockyard. Molly Morgan's Legacy captures the experiences of people who moved to Medway in the past to find work and a better life, and Cabbage Island is a more contemporary companion piece about the magnetic pull home for those who move away. Of the more recent recordings, Sinking of the Thistle is inspired by a real accident which occurred on the river Medway in 1919 involving Brian’s grandfather; Carpe Diem is intended to be an antidote to the doom and gloom merchants, and Sally on the Shore gives a contemporary twist to a traditional folk theme. Don't Say, Laugh No More & Cliche Man are all love songs in a funny sort of way. Pere Lachaise reflects on the fragility of fame, Sitting Pretty ponders how easy it is to feel life passing you by, and Poor Tormented Soul takes a wry look what it means to sing the blues (featuring the fabulous Jim Riley on harmonica). Walk of Shame is borrowed from the excellent canon of Truckstop Honeymoon and the Kirsty MacColl cover They Don't Know allows Sally to pay homage to one of her song-writing heroes.

Through the music on this CD the trio takes a sideways and sometimes cynical look at both modern and historical topics. This is modern English music, with a unique style which embraces the combined influences of Sally, Brian & Shaun. This is different.
