This review is from: Collection (Audio CD)

An absolutely superb single-disc summary of one of England's finest hyper-traditionalist folkies. This disc doesn't include stuff from his early years with Dave Swarbrick back in the 1960s, but what is on here is all first-rate. The only sour note is the first track -- a poorly arranged version of Leon Rosselson's "Palaces of Gold", with a cheesy (and highly uncharacteristic) synthesizer. Otherwise, this is the bomb -- packed with one great song after another. If you haven't heard Martin Carthy before, but are curious, this is the best record to start with.
