(5 out of 5 stars)

"I recently discovered the beautiful artistry of Dave Swarbrick as I was tooling around youtube. He has an extensive discography, and I'm pleased to have chosen this anthology as my first Swarb purchase. The first disc, 21 tracks, is traditional folk, and a few modern compositions, notably the title track composed by Sandy Denny; in the second disc, 9 tracks- Broadcast Live from the Cambridge Folk Festival 1980 (Dave Swarbrick and Friends) & 1984 (Whippersnapper),- mostly with vocals- you feel the fun and excitement of live music and also get glimpses into his personality.

The liner notes trace Swarbrick's recording history and includes photos.

I think my next Swarb disc will be Rags, Reels, and Airs.

The trills in his playing make me think of rivulets of ribbons- I guess that's how I visualize the beauty of it.."
