The one hundred fourty-eighth album: #148 Pentangle - Basket of Light

It always feels odd to hear folk on this album, in particular the type Pentangle played, using acoustic instruments and mostly sounding quite traditional rather than featuring the faster speed of Bob Dylan and the like. In fact, it feels like some of it could belong to the more folksy songs we've seen in the classical list a handful of times. Some of the songs on this album adapt traditional songs, which shows through as well.

The music sounds good. There are a couple of places with good harmonies, and the vocals really stand out, but the music works well too. It sounds magical and ethereal, but it's more listenable than the hymns we've had before - the adjustment to modern times works incredibly well. It feels like it sits outside the musical timeline, but I hope we can get more of this occasionally.
