The songs here by this Scottish duo, Benny Gallaghre & Graham Lyle seem to suggest a folk-oriented "concept" album; the two often play "exotic" instruments as well...

Later albums like Seeds and The Last Cowboy also extend the two's "conceptual-stories-on-vinyl", while Breakaway is their most Commercial-Pop outing, featuring the title-song, which was a 1975-1976 U.S.-Hit introduced by Art Garfunkel, who also covered later Gallagher & Lyle-written songs, such as "A Heart In New York", in 1981...
