Customer Reviews:

another vestige of the 70's UK folk scare...........2005-12-17

Spriguns was folkier than Steeleye Span, more electric than the bands that came after- sort of Fairport-like without the jolly cult following. Like Steeleye Span, Spriguns had no problem cranking up the electricity when needed, including Tom Ling's excellent electric violin and Dick Powell's guitar. If you've heard Pyewacket, kinda like that....

This is not a wholly successful album; Mandy Morton has a lack of that certain drama that distinguishes the better singers of the genre (Maddy, Sandy, Cathy Lesurf, June Tabor, etc). That being said, the album has its moments: some nice adaptations of traditional material in an electriced-up format (Lord Lovell) and a feel for the more supernatural material in the English folk canon. And Mandy Morton's understated vocal style really works when it works.

If you like Steeleye Span, you might want to check this out. About a third of the material on the album is superior UK electric folk, and there's nothing really bad on it. Not a consistent album, but the high spots (Outlandish Knight, Lord Lovell, Laily Worm) are quite good indeed.
