2.0 out of 5 stars And What a Long, Cold Stroll it Was!, April 26, 2002

This review is from: A Stroll Through the Park (Audio CD)

This folk compilation falls way short in its attempt to give us glimpses at some of the 80's undergroud folk muses. The two Steeleye Span tracks stand out as the only singles that could qualify as "strolling music". Most of the others are either far too uptempo or just plain annoying. Take Jacqui McShee's take on "The House Carpenter". He starts with a D cord but then flies into an uptempo tanga number complete with a horn arrangement and background vocals that sound like they were done by that guy who did Garfield's voice. If you want a good folk compilation of laid back singer-songwriters, I recommend "A Winter's Soft Gaze".
