Pentangle - Cruel Sister


CoverFor my money this is the finest Pentangle album. It's a little difficult to single out tracks, but Lord Franklin sung by John Renbourn is so moving, Cruel Sister is such a fine vehicle for Jacqui McShee and Jack Orion allows John Renbourn and Danny Thompson to show off their skills.
