John Renbourn is the man, man.......2007-01-16

If you like the acoustic guitar, buy this, borrow it or steal it!

READ THIS.......2004-02-27

THIS CD WAS TOATALLY AWSOME AND I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE COULD WRITE THAT GOOD OF MUSIC. IT WAS THE BESTEST I'VE EVER HEARD

Beautiful.......2002-05-21

This is a very nice cd, but I have to admit, I don't reach for it as much as "Sir Johnalot". This is really a rennaisance sound, completely acoustic, and very relaxing. Renbourn is a virtuoso guitarist.

unique for its time.......2001-01-21

When Renbourn put this album out around 1970, it was quite an unusual release. He and his friend Bert Jansch were at that point heading the band Pentangle, and between their solo efforts and the band's had been exploring a synthesis of folk, blues, classical and jazz styles. This album brought to the mix yet another element: Medieval and Renaissance music. Renbourn's solo and small ensemble arrangements of the material are mostly gentle and respectful, yet incorporate a jazz flair that give them a truly contemporary sound. This was really good dinner and/or 'date' music for the period: quiet and intimate, and with plenty of personality. It's not very long, however--couldn't someone put it together with "Sir John Alot..." as a twofer?

Music That Endures.......2000-07-01

Like the other reviewers here, I have loved this album since I bought a copy from a departing friend in 1974. I'm on my third copy, and have given away two CD versions of this great music to friends. John Renbourn stretches the boundaries of folk with "The Lady and the Unicorn," but his treatment of all these tunes is always full of joy and respect. That's what makes this music something that you come back to again and again. Buy this CD: you won't be sorry!

Some of the Worst Music I've Ever Heard.......2003-10-29

I bought a used CD a few years back by a band called "Shockheaded Peters." It is fantastic gothic-like hard rock with a Shakespearian quality to it which I find very novel and interesting.

I tried to find any other albums by this band, with no luck. Then I thought to search out the label to see if there were something similar in quality or spirit. The label was Cyclops.

I bought this sampler and the #4 sampler. They are both extremely disappointing. Even the worst Muzak out there is better than this bland, annoying, unisinspired stuff. Used CDs don't sell for much to begin with, and so I'll unfortunately have to probably toss both of these sets in the garbage bin as I don't want them polluting my music collection.
