''Trailer Park'' is the solo debut of British chanteuse Beth Orton . Combining Folk , Electronica , and Trip-hop elements, it earned Orton two Brit Award nominations. The only single from the album was the opening track, "She Cries Your Name," which previously appeared in a different form on William Orbit 's album ''Strange Cargo Hinterland''. All songs were co-written by Orton except for a haunting, sparse take on the Phil Spector composition, "I Wish I Never Saw the Sunshine." The album was among the first to fuse elements of 60s and 70s folk with modern electronica and trip-hop.
