Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally released as a massive double album, this sprawling project is often considered the absolute pinnacle of The Incredible String Band's mystical acoustic worldview. 'Wee Tam & The Big Huge' is wonderfully peaceful and deeply pastoral, weaving highly poetic, incredibly spiritual psychedelic folk through beautifully mellow, nature-driven acoustic arrangements.
