3.0 out of 5 stars
A pleasant example of the later Fairport,
By woburnmusicfan (Woburn, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red & Gold (Audio CD)
The centerpiece of "Red and Gold" is the title song, a Ralph McTell ballad based on a British Civil War battle that took place in the band's home base of Cropredy. It's an epic song, and truth be told, it's fairly boring. Luckily, the rest of the album offsets it pretty well. Highlights are Dylan cover "Open the Door, Richard" and Maartin Allcock's instrumental "The Noise Club". "Set Me Up" and "The Beggar's Song" also contribute to a lively feel. The CD includes a live version of "Close to the Wind" that was not on the original album.(1=poor 2=mediocre 3=pretty good 4=very good 5=phenomenal)

Although this is quite a bit different from the Fairport of the late 60's and early 70's, the result is quite inpressive. I recommend it.
