Review:
Still a very good album
This remains a very good album. I can’t quite regard it as a
classic as some other reviewers have done, but it’s full of very
nice songs, well sung and well produced.
There is some truly
lovely stuff here in places – the instrumental Spanish Hope is a
prime example – and all the songs have a very nice sound to them.
McWillams had quite a distinctive style, especially in his use of
minor chords, and that comes through here, giving the whole album a
slightly mystical, melancholy air but it’s never depressing or
turgid. Somewhere between folk and early-70s pop, it’s an album
which has lasted much better than many from that era and I can
recommend it warmly.
