Young Tradition - The Young Tradition Sampler

CoverAlmost as good as Galleries Revisited this is a fine folk revival album. The Lyke Wake Dirge has to be the highlight - it was also sung be Pentangle on their Basket of Light album, but this is a gritty traditional version. The rest of the album is made up of a strong selection of sea-shanties and great traditional songs.

The sampler itself is not available on CD as far as I know, this album will cost you around £50 from a collectable supplier, fortunately all of the Young Tradition recorded repertoire is now available from Castle.
