As far as I know, the line "so shed your skin and let's get started" isn't a
Luka Bloom line; it's from the Hunters and Collectors song, "Throw Your Arms
Around Me."
There is, however, a Luka Bloom album called "Keeper of the Flame" that's a
collection of covers, ranging from the Cure's "In Between Days" to Abba's
"Dancing Queen." It's quite enjoyable throughout.

He just put out "Amsterdam," a new live album which is stellar, both in
performance and sound quality. Crisp and clear throughout. Otherwise, He
put out "Turf" after "Acoustic Motorbike," then left Reprise. Somewhere
between then and "Keeper of the Flame," there was another studio album, I
believe, but I've never seen it, let alone heard it...
