Pentangle - Willy O' Winsbury

[paulindigo]

One of my favourite Pentangle tunes, for me this is Jacqui McShee's best performance ever

[cbrennen44]

I have loved Pentangle and John Renbourne in particular since I was 14 years old. I'm a middle aged lady now lol - how nice to see other fans - thanks so much for posting.

Pentangle has reunited!! I'm so excited :D

Riesce a trasmettermi le stesse emozioni di quando l'ascoltai la prima volta... era settembre del '72.

the song is beautiful, but I don't like the pentangle title or image., And one of the men on the album cover at the bottom has a duck's bill. It seems like a satanic images to me.

i think the original tapes for this album was deleted or lost so it never come out on digital formats. share the vinyl on youtube is a good idea. pentangle is great, solomons seal was the original groups last album in 1972.

[WhackaWhacka]

@edli55 It's available on cd just like every other Pentangle album.

A seed album of beautiful tunes. I too nearly wore it out. This, and Anne Briggs' version are two of the greatest, perhaps. But the Fairport song "Farewell" is utterly crystalline heart digging sorrowful joy. Peace

And the tune was adapted by Fairport Convention for their song "Farewell" which can be found on the album "Liege & Lief."

[grski88]

It sounds like a variation of the traditional song/poem "Tam Lin." Love Pentangle!

[chelpydog]

Very nice! Never heard of them before!

[youghurt78]

WOW. This is beautiful. Gotta hunt down an original vinyl copy of the album now...

[eaks52]

@youghurt78 This album was my first intro to Pentangle in the 70's......damn near wore it out. John Renbourne also does this song on his solo album "Faro Annie" a great album also with some great early American songs.

Extraordinairement bien chanté par Jacquie Macshee. Je ne sais qui a créé cette chanson mais je connais une autre version très bonne aussi par Sweeney's men(Andy Irvine).

Lovely track bings back great memories of their concert in Dublin long time ago thanks

[BruceinFalkirk]

Great track.

This tune pops up on the Wicker Man soundtrack, supposedly a Paul Giovanii original.
