Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fusing his unparalleled acoustic guitar skills with authentic historical research, the Pentangle co-founder beautifully revitalized medieval and Renaissance compositions. Accompanied subtly by Terry Cox on percussion and Ray Warleigh on flute, the entirely instrumental record served as a massive catalyst for the British folk-baroque revival.
