This is very typical of English folk.
A bawdy tune.
Usually from the North or Bawdy Borders.

I think this album could have done with being a bit shorter, I'd have cut out Little Sadie and err.. maybe this one.

Lets's remind ourselves as to how that sounds.

It is over.
I felt that was an album that started out promisingly but, despite being proficiently performed, became quite boring, thanks to nearly all the tracks going on for too long.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

A couple of tracks needed pruning, both in number and length, but I really liked it, and I want to listed to their version of Sally Free And Easy again.
Very close to 5 ★★★★★

Really not bad.
Quite a gaping h*le in my folk-rock knowledge if truth be known.
Good, but hampered by a kind of shilly-shallying of styles that showed that not all the band members were proper 'folkies' and were restless to move on.
Still.
I don't know what to think...

In fact let's compare Pentangle's version of Sally Free and Easy

My Auntie Sue went out with Bert Jansch.
I may have said this before.
It's just that when I did nobody said anything.

I'm assuming that Wendi has already voted.
Wendi is a horrible voter.

I did. I made a cheap joke about The Needle of Death, but you missed it.
