Walking on the Moon in Bloomington, MN

This primarily
folk-rock
-oriented sampler from the
Mooncrest
label relies heavily on contributions from English
royalty, specifically alumni from
Steeleye Span
and
Fairport Convention
. The combination of
Sandy Denny
,
Maddy Prior
Tim Hart
Ian Matthews
, and
Shirley Collins
, along with British
pub rock
legends
Chilli Willi & the Red Hot Peppers
singer/songwriter
Tim Moore
, makes for a pretty solid window into the late-'60s/early-'70s U.K.
folk
scene, but there are countless other collections that offer much more than the 12 passable selections found here. ~ James Christopher Monger
