Digitally remastered edition of this 1971 Folk/Prog rarity. Terry Woods and Gay Woods were briefly members of Steeleye Span while Terry later went on to join the Pogues. This album bears a striking musical resemblance to early Steeleye Span, with Woods' songwriting adding a unique spin to their sound. RDI.
Listener Reviews & Comments I don't know whether this came before or after Steeleye Span (my guess is after), but it carries on from the second (and less trad) Sweeney's Men offering (The Tracks Of Sweeney). Gay and Terry Woods show the full potential of the folk/rock genre, while doing it in their own way ... Gay's tremendous vocals, and the instrumental genius of Terry that did so much for the Pogues, but never came to the forefront as it should have. Purely trad offerings such as "As I Roved Out" - Terry on mandola and electric giutar, Gay backing vocals accompanied by bass and drums are joined by original offerings such as "Dreams" (also recorded by Sweeney's) which move away from their trad roots into really progressive music. Listen to their later offerings, both as a duo and with other groups and you'll hear something from this album in them.
