This is a folk/celtic rock album from the late 60s that sounds kinda like a mix of The Allman Brothers Band and Jefferson Airplane. Released in 1969 it has pretty much a perfect sound, crunchy and distorted but deeply layered. The lead singer has a lovely high-alto or low soprano, not sure what to call it. Of course I heard her voice and immediately thought of Sandy Denny, the only person to perform a guest-vocal for Led Zeppelin (on "The Battle of Evermore"). Turns out it was her, and now I feel like an idiot. Anyhoo, it's a lovely album and I like folk and rock, but the songs tend to be a bit too long and heavily based on folk standards (or cliches). Still, liked it. 3 stars.
