Instead of wiki's short description, I give you allmusic's review.
"Arab Strap's David Gow and Adele Bethel put an edge on their previous band's sardonic nature for Sons and Daughters. Love the Cup finds Gow (drums), Bethel (vocals/guitar), Ailidh Lennon (bass/mandolin), and Scott Paterson (vocals/guitar) causing a rumpus with their merry folk-rock blend. The seven-song selection is pure grit, with traditional Scottish folk and blues-rock bits. Sons and Daughters pretty much pay tribute to the original Man in Black, Johnny Cash, throughout Love the Cup and the set list itself sifts through Cash's template of love, God, and murder. Mandolins and guitars create a fracas on "Fight," while the rockabilly-tinged eponym to Cash and hankering licks of "Broken Bones" showcase Sons and Daughters' more brassy side. Love the Cup is a love affair with traditional folk music. Sons and Daughters collect themselves in a cranny of classic poetry and music and in turn, they use their surroundings to craft one of 2003's more interesting albums".
This song is all I can think of musically since yesterday! Utterly in love with it.

I've seen S&D open up for other bands twice, liked them well both times, but never got around to investigating them further. Thanks for this kick in the arse.

This was a great riff driven single but the following ones haven't made it to this standard.

I vaguely remember seeing the video for "Dance Me In" but didn't follow up. I liked "Johnny Cash" even better. Good stuff, and you liked the female vocals. Wow.
