4.0 out of 5 stars
A great example of mid-seventies Fairport,
By "klevesque" (Salem, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nine (Audio CD)
What a great line-up. Dave Pegg, DM, Swarb, Trevor Lucas, and the wonderful Gerry Donahue...breathe new life into the Fairport name. This is a fantastic album both revered by the band and hardcore fans. A hard to find CD-check it out. Traditional folk with blasts of rock and country. Great musicianship and loads of fun. All in all, fantastic!
4.0 out of 5 stars
versatility and panache,
By steven thornton (Melbourne,Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nine (Audio CD)
Really this set contains some of Fairports best-loved songs, from the olde-English Hexamshire Lass and Polly on the Shore to the epic Bring em Down. This album rocks as well as 'Folks'.For thumping,crunching danceability listen to the raunch of Possibly Parsons Green. Swarbs fiddle gets a work out too and Trevor Lucas was at the pinnacle of his song-writing prowess. Probably on of their most accessible albums and if you only have to have one Fairport set,this would'nt be a bad place to settle.

if you can't get enough fairport and you already have their late 60's/earlly 70's stuff i would go for this next..after this album they lost their sound somehow..late 70's AOR production??

2.0 out of 5 stars
One great song and not much else,
By woburnmusicfan (Woburn, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nine (Audio CD)
This album contains a fantastic arrangement of the traditional song "Polly on the Shore", about a man pressed into service aboard a pirate ship. Other than that, this is a pretty tedious album. There are at least four songs that, no matter how many times I play the album, I can't remember anything about them a day later. The rest are uninspired and sound like outtakes from "Angel Delight". I would give this album one star, except that I've heard "Gottle o' Geer". "Nine" isn't aggressively bad like "Gottle", it's just bland.(1=poor 2=mediocre 3=pretty good 4=very good 5=phenomenal) |
