Day 51 The Pentangle “Hunting Song”

Another discovery from my time at the coal face in Record & Tape Exchange. After watching a dodgy video copy of “The Wicker Man” at a workmate’s place, I started trying to hunt down similarly wyrd folk as the music in that film. This lot were, of course, the first ones I came up against.

Danny Thompson’s bass playing is incredible. In fact, everyone in this band is incredible and the interplay between them is so subtle and understated. England's version of The Band, in that sense.
