4.0 out of 5 stars good, simple listening with a few pleasant surprises, February 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Definitive Transatlantic Collection (Audio CD)

I bought this CD because of one song, The Streets of London, which is a nice, folksy and very singable tune. The rest of the album has been a pleasant surprise, with folksongs whose melodies blend into each other in a soothing background way.

That is, until you really listen to the lyrics and find that each song tells its own sometimes touching, sometimes quirky, generally 60's-flavored story. It's not exactly jump-up-and-grab-you music, but it's pleasant in an undemanding and sincere way, with some really nice folk guitar sounds as well.
