Indeed, a classic
James C. Voorhees | Kensington, MD USA | 07/02/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Those who enjoy Steeleye Span, Albion Band, the New St. George, and their ilk will love this album. The performers are something of an English folk all-star band, many of whom have performed with Albion and Steeleye. The tunes are traditional, the arrangements electric, but respectfully so, and sometimes electrifying even after 25 years."
Folk-rock classic
Mark Fleischmann | New York, NY -- an island off the coast of America | 12/16/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"The guy who sees this folk-rock classic solely as a Richard Thompson missed the point. This is a key element in the discography of Ashley Hutchings, who coufounded Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, and the Albion Band. Richard played as a session man (and briefly toured with the Albion Country Band) but this album is about traditional tunes with a rock beat, not original songwriting or guitar heroism."
Morris still ON

"I have this album on a cassette tape I purchased in the early eighties. I just love the sound of English folk music and the Morris sub-genre. The performers on this CD are superb. Enjoy!"
