Title: Disappointing
Review: The cover of this album describes it as 'Leave-taking from the British Folk revival 1970-1977' and that was indeed a period worth commemorating. This collection, sadly, does not do it justice. There are only 13 tracks (and only 9 artists, as 4 of them appear twice) and what there is in no way represents the best of the period.The Watersons were a great group, but Lal Waterson, singing solo on two of these tracks, is painfully out of tune. The other performers on this album are fine, and are well worth a listen, but you will find them all better represented on other albums.I realize that this selection is restricted to recordings from the Trailer label, but I cannot believe this is the best they could do. Both quality and quantity are lacking. A sad leave-taking indeed.
Is the review positive or negative?
