Hit: 5 Stars
Steeleye Span's Rocket Cottage stands as my all time favorite of this genre. Fiddles, mandolin, harp and Maddy Prior's awesome, reedy voice make this FOLK music, as do the old-timey lyrics. But the electric bass, full drum kit and electric guitars make it ROCK. It is easy to hear a powerful Zep influence in the arrangements, which move me to goose-bumps now just as they did when I bought the LP about a million years ago. If you like folk music but sometimes think it is a bit tame, you will listen to this CD with your mouth open, all the way. Every song is a standout in one way or another, but Opheo/Nathan's Reel and Sir James the Rose get me near tears with their tales of heroic love, gone well or poorly. Fighting for Strangers is as great an anti-war anthem as you'll find. Hell hath no fury like The Brown Girl, who'll "dance upon your grave for twelve month and a day," if you slight her. Here is folk music ARRANGED into hyperspace, as the title suggests. I wish I could give it more than five stars. Vocally, instumentally--perfect execution. I'm done raving now.
