Been listening to Carthy in various configurations for many years, and love his taste in songs and how he does them. My sister just got the Chronicles-- thanks to the folk who were inspired to put it all together. Especially like the notes which give lots of backround info on songs and sources. It would be nice if they'd do the same for some other notable singers. Good way to collect the songs.

Frankly I like the old ballads, the longer the better-- tells us what our forebears were really about.
