Description
This album was released before Steeleye Span even existed and Fairport Convention was still a West Coast-sounding folk-rock group with Judy Dyble instead of Sandy Denny, and yet this album bears more than a striking resemblance to Steeleye Span, except bluesier and jazzier, with all acoustic instruments (instead of electric like Steeleye Span). Vocalist Jacqui McShee sings in a soprano that seems like an obvious influence on Steeleye Span's Maddy Prior. While folk purists would not complain that the Pentangle's debut was too electrical, they would complain about the about jazz and blues included in their style, so this is truly recommended for the more open-minded folks who don't mind outside styles being incorporated.
