Tudor Lodge - Tudor Lodge


Rating: 3/5

Review
Not a classic

Plainly quite a few reviewers like Tudor Lodge very much, but for me it doesn’t add up to much. They’re aiming for a sort of Pentangle/Trees/Fairport sound in various places but they were nowhere near those great bands in quality. For me, this is much more of an interesting period piece than the “classic” claimed by the reissue blurb.

There are some nice tracks on it and the album begins with some good songs, but overall the material is pretty weak. Help Me Find Myself and Nobody’s Listening, for example, are forgettable pop songs, redeemed to some extent by good production and a fine backing band; I’ll listen to anything that Danny Thompson is playing on but, great though he is, much of this doesn’t merit ore than the occasional outing. Not terrible by any means, but not really recommendable either.
