5 out of 5 stars A lost masterpiece.......2007-01-29

This album gets labeled as folk but that is an unfairly narrow categorization.Every track on this album is unique and melodic and they defy easy labeling,Lal's voice is strong and soaring and the music supplied by her son Oliver with additional accompaniment from a selection of other fine musicians and singers works perfectly.One of the most honest,inspired and beautiful records you will ever hear.The fact that Lal Waterson died not long after this incredibly vibrant and life affirming recording was released shows us in a way that is not easily grasped the mystery and enduring power of the human spirit.

5 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Acheivement.......2003-04-05

Lovely songs, brilliant musisianship.

Just Wonderfull

5 out of 5 stars I'm stunned!.......1999-10-21

Nico's starkness, Marianne Faithful's rough edges and Sandy Denny's warmth. Brilliant!

5 out of 5 stars haunting.......1999-05-11

this music wraps around me. I can't say exactly what it is that makes it so special- lal's raspy expressive voice (a highland's billy holliday!) or the odd, simple arrangements- with their birdlike swoops and eccentric phrasings. both i'd guess- the prophetess chanteuse from the sacred well!
