This review is from: Traditional Apache Songs (Audio CD)

I'd give this CD 3 1/2 stars because of the way so many songs had a very similar sound to them (although being able to understand Apache would no doubt help that).You get 25 songs,each with what seems like the same drum work although some did seem to have some tambourine backup, and a total of 12 different singers. The late Philip Cassadore sang the first 8,and his sister Patsy ( I prefer her singing over his)#14-21, in 1966, the others were done in 1976 & 86 all are equally clear.# 11 With My Prayer I am Protected by Edwin Endfield was one of the best songs in my opinion. Most of the songs are very traditional, some of them are very good, buy it for those reasons.
