CD Reviews

A Sublime Collection
Edward J. Whitelock | Barnesville, GA USA | 04/05/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"There is no way to type the expression on one's face when listening to this sublime music. A beautiful and deep overview of all things Waterson. My only (very minor) quibble regards the liner notes: wish they'd reprinted the historical notes for each song that are a regular feature of Watersons albums proper. Worth every ha-penny."
