Album Review
Renbourn's last solo album for the next six years overlaps with his Pentangle work, featuring Terry Cox playing hand drums and glockenspiel, with future John Renbourn bandmember Tony Roberts and violinist Dave Swarbrick. The repertory consists of medieval and early classical pieces, interspersed with the expected folk material — keyboard works from the Fitzwilliam virginal book (transcribed for guitar) stand alongside traditional tunes such as "Scarborough Fair," which turns up as part of an 11-minute-track that also incorporates "My Johnny Was a Shoemaker," with Swarbrick at the top of his form on violin. The album is entirely instrumental, but as with other Renbourn releases, one hardly misses the vocals. [Castle's 2003 reissue featured bonus tracks.]
Customer Reviews
Wonderful nostalgia
I am so grateful I can find the albums I loved as a teenager. I used to listen to this album over and over when I was a freshman in college and it inspired me to take classical music seriously, along with folk and rock. John Renbourn has a special gift of bringing early baroque and renaissance music alive.
