A Richer Vein is the debut album by Cornish folk band Dalla. It was released shortly after the demise of Sowena, and affirmed Dalla as more than a watered down version of their previous achievements.
The record can be noted for its expanse of original material as opposed to the mostly traditional songs Sowena played, and the reintroduction of the Cornish language into folk music. The record poses the introduction of Neil Davey, and establishes the "Dalla Trio" that are often seen as the definitive line-up of the band. It is often perceived to be the stronger of the two records with this line-up.
