Pentangle - Basket Of Light (1969) *New Rip* 24-bit/96kHz
Folk, Folk-Jazz | 1969 UK LP | Transatlantic TRA 205
Although Sweet Child is usually cited as the group's high-water mark, Basket of Light finds them at their most progressive and exciting....
Highlights of this album -- which actually reached the Top Five in the U.K. -- include the buzzing jazz dynamics of "Light Flight," their moving rendition of the traditional folk song "Once I Had a Sweetheart," their re-invention of the girl group smash "Sally Go Round the Roses," and "Springtime Promises," one of their finest original tunes. Richie Unterberger, Allmusic.
