Why are you so negative and derisory?

It's a crap review from someone without much idea of what the music is about. It's dismissive of Shirley Collins, assuming that she is 'finished' and betrays a scant knowledge of her work. For example, No Roses, which I saw being recorded at Island and I still have the test pressing) was not an 'Albion Band' recording but a Shirley solo project and merely used some of the musicians who later formed the first Albion Country Band.

That the review (of Jackie Oates' first album which is not even the subject of this thread) was largely a paraphrase of Phil Beer's website doesn't make it any better. It is ill-informed and there are far more informative ones about.
