"I cannot think of any group who could do what the Brobdingnagian Bards do-that is, to capture the spirit of such a classic and record it. This album is a great addition to any Tolkien fan's library. If you are new to Tolkien, or spent hours a day travelling through Middle Earth again and again, you'll love this CD. I know I do! :)"

"this song is by-far one of the best instrumentals I have ever heard..it is a very calming song that lifts you up and makes you smile...on a scale from 1 to 10,I rate it around 17...it has one of the sweetest recorders you'll ever hear being played...it would be an excellent song to play at a wedding..."
Excellent!

"A 'must have' for all Tolkien fans!
I didn't know about the existance of The Bards until I attened the 'North Georgia Celtic Festival'. They were there and I heard them play several songs on this CD and several of their others. When I saw this CD being sold indoors, I immeadiately wanted it, being the LotR fanatic that I am. Bought the CD and had them sign it also... Probably the best thing I've done with my money in months...
Personal favorites include: The Psychopathic, Chronic, Schizophrenic Gollum Blues, Weathertop, The Heart of Fangorn, and Now It's Time To Go (Bilbo's Farewell Song). The instrumental pieces are awesome also... I feel like I **was** in Fangorn, Lothlorien, Moria... everywhere they covered in their lovely music."
