Last Pentangle album and I'd say maybe their 2nd best some absolutely beautiful songs on this.
Despite only being in my late 30's I have been privileged to have seen the original line up of Pentangle several times before Bert died and they were absolutely mesmerising! Jacqui's voice is 90% as good as it ever was and they played really really tight so close your eyes or sit far enough back and it might as well have been 1970 :)
Jacqui still plays with her own band (Jacqui Mcshee's pentangle and they are almost as good and can be relied upon to do 50-60% original pentangle tunes with a slight twist so I would highly highly recommend check her website people it will brighten your souls.
Enjoy!
