Newly reissued for 2020, Short Stories was originally released in 2004. The breadth and depth of Reg Meuross' material is now unparalleled in contemporary folk; if something needs to be sung about then Reg Meuross has a song for it. After a period of time spent touring, moving to the West Country, and raising a family, Reg Meuross returned to the studio to record Short Stories with some of the country's best roots musicians, including Miranda Sykes (Show of Hands) on double bass and backing vocals. Reissued as part of a six album retrospective comprising The Goodbye Hat, Short Stories, Still, Dragonfly, All This Longing, and Leaves & Feathers that catalogues Meuross's development as one of England's finest and most respected contemporary folk-singers.
