Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Spanning three decades, this single disc resum( of the great British guitarist captures many high points: "Little Cottage," "Banks of the Nile" (recorded memorably by Sandy Denny), and "Lord Randal" illustrate well why Carthy has so affected British folk rockers like Richard Thompson and Martin Simpson (note the at once modern and traditional feel of "Palaces of Gold") and also songwriters like Paul Simon and Bob Dylan. An essential instrumentalist and convincing vocalist, Carthy's popularity has never matched his influence; this collection is a fine starting point, and should whet your desire for Carthy's many individual albums. --Roy Francis Kasten
