"This, double c.d. Anthology, is a superb intro., into the undisputed genius of this great , great English singer-songwriter!!!Truly , from the late 60's/early 70's onwards , Andy was one of the 'quintissential genius's of the genre!This double c.d. release, on c.d., is a must for all appreciaters of classic (English)singer-songwriting1Andy's voice was always so unique and distiguished, his songs often very haunting &truly memorable.Like Roy Harper(GENIUS), & the great Nick Drake, Andy Roberts was/is a true, true genius at his art.
In the 70's , Andy teamed up with the talented Iain Matthews, to produce the legendary band..Plainsong.."Amelia Earheart"..what a grrrerat album!!
Here, on this compilation double disc, we see the variety & exceptional talent Andy had, for great material..john the revelator, Keep my children warm(beautiful!), Nina & the dream tree(my favourite)..e.t.c., e.t.c....all the songs here are excellent!!My only complaint , is please, please, Andy, get a release , on c.d. , for the incredible"Urban Cowboy"...still my favourite Andy Roberts album..an absolute beaut.!!!!Also, "The Great Stampede", another remarkable solo album!!
Meanwhile, sample the delights in this excellent Andy Roberts compilation disc.a most excelleny release!!BUY!!!!!"
