Robin Scott - Woman From The Warm Grass


Rating: 3/5

Review:
Pretty forgettable

The sleeve notes describe Woman From The Warm Grass as a lost folk classic. Well...lost? Yes. Folk? Maybe. Classic? No.

Robin Scott released this album in 1969 and it is rather typical of a lot of the mediocre stuff which came out then. There are a lot of rather inane lyrics masquerading as profundity, including a tuneless, rhymeless stream of consciousness thing in Song Of The Sun, and the whole album sounds as though it was conceived through mind-altering substances and was intended to be listened to in the same way. As so often, this makes it pretty dull to those of us who haven’t indulged. It’s not terrible and it has its moments, but it certainly doesn’t stand out from all the other trippy, forgettable stuff around then and I can’t really recommend it.
