Sweet Visitor is an album by the English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nancy Kerr, which was released by Little Dish Records in 2014.[ Allmusic Review: Sweet Visitor] accessed 1 March 2015.
Reception In a review of Sweet Visitor for The Telegraph, Martin Chilton stated that "Nancy Kerr has a distinguished track record working with other folk stars (Eliza Carthy, James Fagan and the recent Elizabethan Session octet) but shows in her debut solo album that she can lead from the front. Her fiddle playing is as exquisite as ever (especially on Apollo on the Docks) and she sings with an easy lilting charm." In a review for The Guardian, Robin Denselow stated "This is a pleasantly classy set of her own compositions, dominated by her fine, easygoing singing and fiddle work, which is at times more distinctive than her folk-influenced songs themselves."
