Beautifully melodic folk rock that has a fantastic amount of variety and is one of the better flowing albums there is. You have the gorgeously intimate “Francesca”, the melodic masterpiece “How Does It Feel” and the completely out of left field closer “Hell’s Angels” with Hendrix-esque rock solos. This is definitely amongst Harper’s best work.

Sandy Denny’s vocals are amongst the best of all time. Is it as good as peak Fairport? No. But it is a hell of an attempt.
