Very Good Pentangle

(4 out of 5 stars)
"I've picked up most of Pentangle's stuff on CD since first being introduced them in 1991. To me, Pentangle's music is what I'll be hearing in heaven, if there proves to be one. I find the combination of Jacqui McShee's beautiful voice and Bert Jansch's nimble guitar playing to be intoxicating. This album from 1994 might be the finest they recorded since reforming in the mid 1980's. The traditional numbers, including "Oxford City", "The Lily of the West", and the gorgeous "Willy O' Winsbury", are riveting. The band also comes up with some fine originals, especially "Hey Soldier". The musicanship and production are just outstanding."
