'The Ten Commandments" comes from the second album released by Figgy Duff. It was released on vinyl in 1982 and on cd in 1997. Figgy Duff was a Canadian folk-rock band from Newfoundland. They were formed in 1976 by Noel Dinn and travelled across Newfoundland, learning traditional songs.
Figgy Duff continued touring the next thirteen years and released three studio albums. The line-up changed several times, but the core of Dinn and Pamela Morgan stayed the same. Dinn died of cancer in 1993 and Morgan disbanded Figgy Duff soon after. She revived the group for a 25th anniversary album and concert. They have dedicated fans to this day.
ENJOY!
