Brilliant. Bridgets voice with the guitar is 'one entity'...in this respect she is akin to John Martyn. Id love to see her perform, one of the originals from the UK progressive acoustic era ...top notch stuff this.-Ian
Fantastic find ... listened to Bridget, s old albums a few days ago .. and was very glad to find this posting ... whoever did it ... bravo ... more please ... . Bridgette is a great overlooked talent .. + Chapman .. very symathetic accomp. ... merci .
I have always ranked Bridget St John as one of the greatest acoustic ballad singers of her generation equal to Bert Jansch, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Donavan etc. Bridget has the ability to hold an audience and transmit a unique and very special quality through live performance especially, but also in the recording studio, to melt even the hardest of hearts. A rare gift. Cheers Bridget!
The River was the first song I heard by Bridget on John Peels Top Gear way back in the 60's ! It is still my favourite-but I have loved her material ever since. I still have her vinyl and have rebought on CD!
I just found her listening to my Pentangle station Pandora.

Sweet Jesus. If anything, her voice and phrasing have improved over the years. No studio tricks on this recording either.
