"Most welcome re-issue of 2005 !"

Terry D. Schmidt | Tenn, USA | 07/26/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Hats off to the wonderful folks at BGO for this two CD re-issue of these hard to find 1970/71 Lp's recorded for CBS UK. The label gave Softley the freedom to record these Lp's as he wanted. These feature some wonderful songwriting with some intresting arrangements, from solo guitar to full group featuring a crop of noted folk-rock players including Richard Thompson, Jerry Donahue & Lesley Duncan. Softleys' eccentric vocals will appeal to fans of Roy Harper but if your looking for another soft folkie like Nick Drake, this is not it. Give this a shot, it seems odd at first but it grows on you quickly with some catchy lyrics and melody. The original LP's command big prices making this set a real bargain. Usual up to par BGO standards on the booklet and notes compliment the music very well. Now to get them to re-issue the 3rd album he did for CBS! Thanks guys!"
