(5 out of 5 stars)

"There's been nothing like the ISB. Their introduction of an eclectic and exotic (for the time) variety of stringed instruments, and their distinctive writing and vocal styles, endeared them to me way back in the 1960's and it's still a pleasure to hear them. Their mixture of musical sophistication, poetry, mysticism, humor, and a certain innocence resonated with the times. This disc was the first with the two-man set-up, and contains the beautiful First Girl I Loved. Other standouts are Painting Box, No Sleep Blues, and Chinese White, to name three of many. In this configuration Williamson and Heron went on to record The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, which many consider their best, and my favorite, Wee Tam/Big Huge. Light the incense, and enjoy!"
