I remember many years ago in about the late 1980's that Pentangle performed at McCabe's Guitar Store in Santa Monica, California. My boyfriend took me to see them as I was a big fan. I had a chance to talk to Jacqui during the break and I asked her if she could sing this song as my request. She was very nice and easy to talk to. She said she would do this request for me. I was so happy when I heard her sing it and made eye contact with me as they began the song. It was a wonderful memory for me.

The same melody for Cruel Sister she used to sing the Riddle Song, which is similar to Cruel Sister in form. If you want to hear the way she sang it, then look up the Jean Redpath version. Mom was a huge Jean Redpath fan, and a lot of her songs were from her. The Grey Selkie by Jean Redpath is a great song. But everything Jean Redpath sings is good. "Buttermilk Hill" is an American one based on Siuil a Ruin (Gaelic). She loved that one. Oh there were lots of them, but those are the first that come to mind.

[@CosmicHippopotamus]

@@mickigoe Pentangle had a ton of drama. By Reflection, every band member threatened to leave and Jansch and Renbourn had huge issues staying sober to the extent that they often didn't show up to record. The reason we don't hear about their drama as much is because their audience was niche during their active years. I don't know what counts as "worked" but three of the supergroups that Eric Clapton was in produced some of the greatest albums of all time. Led Zeppelin and ABBA are technically supergroups and they both dominated their respective music scenes for a decade.

[@user-un5iz6th1n]

@@frankpeter6851 easy there. Russian Chinese, Afghani etc musicians suffer horribly for their various repressive 'governments of the people', their musical output often altered from intention and it's production drastically limited as a result. The increasing mediocrity of western taste has more to do with what people will do when not forced or challenged sufficiently to do better. It's a mark of western ease and success, sadly. But the failure here isn't the success that engendered it, just the frailty of a typical human adjustment to it over time. And regretable through it may be, it's far preferable to the more heinous symbols of our frailty, like gulags and torture for those who stand out for their exceptional talent. This music wouldn't likely exist if not for the very system you disparage, and frankly your tendency to disparage it amidst it's benefits is similarly a frailty- born and enabled as it is by the very success and humanity of the system that gives you the time, license and freedom to mock it for its trouble.

@@nalublackwater9729 just the notion that autotune or fake musicians makes music worse is so wildly absurd and misinformed

The bass is so mesmerizing

Since I found this song about a year ago, I listen to it multiple times a day and love it more each time. Massively beautiful music and words.

I love this God damn song.. her passion is unbelievable. Her eyes and the nose wrinkle when she sings .. magic.

When I first heard this performance, it felt so familiar even though I felt certain I hadn't heard it before. Then it occurred to me that it had the same melody as Fairport Convention's "Farewell Farewell." After doing some further reading, I realized that Fairport's song is based on Willy O Winsbury. I'm so happy to have found this performance. I definitely need to dig deeper into Pentangle's catalog!

Thank you. I was racking my brains trying to remember where I'd heard this melody. I will listen to Sandy's version now with a different appreciation. A beautiful song perfectly performed.

My lover (deceased 26yrs) used to sing this to me, it always enchanted & transported me! Such a magical song, bringing back magical memories.. 🏆

Stunningly recorded bass for the time period. And impossible to imagine anyone else playing those notes or playing anything else but upright.
