Pentangle

Light Flight - The Anthology Pentangle

2 CD set. Pretty much the first UK folk-rock 'supergroup' and the inventors of the sound that would later be adopted by Fairport, Trees etc, Pentangle were an unusual agglomeration of seemingly disparate talents, and at their best succeeded in mixing elements of traditional folk, jazz improvisation and pop into a seamless whole. Featuring the brilliant and contrasting guitar talents of Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, against the rhythmic undertow provided by drummer Terry Cox and superb bass player Danny Thompson, and topped off with the bell-like purity of Jacqui McShee's vocals, Pentangle garnered much critical acclaim. This is the perfect introduction to their work. Castle Music.
