"Cruel Sister", the song which provides the title for the album, is a traditional murder ballad (known in some versions as "The Twa Sisters"). It tells the story of the violent rivalry between two sisters for the love of a knight. One of the sisters murders her sibling, whose bones and hair are turned into a harp by a passing musician.[8] The ballad was collected by Francis J. Child (Child 10) and is also listed in the Roud Folk Song Index.[9] "Fair Rosamund" is about Rosamund Clifford, a mistress of King Henry II of England. "The Greatham Calling on Song" is from the mummers play which is performed in Greatham, County Durham every Boxing Day.[10] "Raven Girl" is a traditional folk song with an additional verse written by Ester Watson of Hexham, Northumberland.[10] "Bonny at Morn" was collected in the 19th century and published in 1882 in the Northumbrian Minstrelsy.[11] "John Dead" is a sea shanty from the Windward Islands,[12] collected by Roger D. Abrahams.[10] The album also includes an acclaimed cover version, sung by Becky Unthank, of Nick Drake's song "River Man".[13] Track listing
