What's the problem here? McShee had a crystalline voice. Four very talented musicians recognized this and agreed to back her. In doing so, she and they made some money that they otherwise would not have. I don't know what class or caste of society they came from, and frankly could care less.
Real folk was made by real working-folk .. this is very nice tunifying , but at the end of the day it's still masturbatory experiment by 60s kids who never went down a mine, or tilled a hard field on a windswept tor, or slipped on a trawler-deck in the sub-zero North sea, or sweated behind a monstrous mechanical loom, or died in a minor war of empire or religion.
@Lytton333 You MAY have a point...But - whatever - 'yuppie folk,or not - you can't deny that Jackie mcShee 'hits the spot',w. her voice!!!!!!creashonrebel@yahoo.com
@Lytton333 Obviouslly you're an expert on masturbatory experiments. In the '60s and later there just weren't as many opportunities available for mines or tors or trawlers or looms. Why don't you come back and tell us about some of your own experiments. I'll bet some of them featured McShee.
@Lytton333 Many who did actually encounter these situations you described would probably not have well enough developed musical abilities. Pentangle gives life to those experiences in their name.
@jeffbeck3563 It's a "play" on the name for the herb thyme..alot of these songs have ancient significance in folklore in Britain,Many of the tales told in these songs were passed down on through generations by the fireside from mother to daughter! Quite lovely ;) lol.
.I see you like JeffBeck?or is that your name?..Jeff Beck lives right by my house here in East Sussex+I often see him;) lol
Come all you fair and tender ladies All you who flourish in your prime Beware take care, keep your garden fair Let no man steal your thyme, Let no man steal your thyme, For when your thyme is past and gone He'll care no more for you And in the place where your thyme was waste He'll spread all o'er with rue, He'll spread all o'er with rue, A woman is a branchy tree And man's a clinging vine And from her branches carelessly He'll take what he can find He'll take what he can find

We are putting on a Bert Jansch Tribute All Nighter this Saturday 8th October in a church by the River Thames in Surrey Quays, SE London. Lots of performers!! Bring A bottle and come and celebrate the mans music and life!!!
Once upon a time, it was possible for a woman to make it in the music business and not be instantly attractive to 50% of the men- and vice versa. Janis Joplin and Mama Cass were rated for their talents. So was John Lennon (who looked like a hawk when without glasses). Could you see Lemmy making it on the X-factor, if he was in his 20s now and TV was his only route to fame?
So, for anyone saying "Eurgh, I wouldn't have touched her with yours", that's not the point and should never be the point.
There are four female English voices of the 60's and 70's which are classic, unique and should never, ever be forgotten. Those are: Jacqui McShee, Maddy Prior, Sandy Denny, and Annie Haslam. Pentangle was wonderful and even Jacqui McShee's Pentangle in the 80's was excellent. No one has ever sounded like Pentangle again - before them or since. They mixed jazz and folk and the musicianship was unique and still unmatched. It had a soul and a heart, more than can be said for a lot of music today.
Beautiful haunting song, everyone involved is a genius of their instrument, and Jacqui just happens to be an amazing singer as well as a total babe. I don't see how it's possible to think otherwise.
i remember hearing Pentangle as a student in Germany. when i later purchased a recording a "born again" friend warned me that the name is associated with witchcraft. It's strange how people look for evil in such innocent songs. I agree with those who like performers as they are without tons of makeup. glitz and special effects.
@PANTSDOWN555 Written by a person who will never be satisfied with any one because in the end we all become ugly and any lasting beauty we have will be in the eyes of another, but he will never find that person.
@PANTSDOWN555 "pass water over you small fire"? What is this English as a second language? We have all "passed water" i.e. urinated many times, but most try to punctuate properly and not brag about their bodily functions.
Think about how unfair it is that women must be thought beautiful by their listeners to be appreciated as musicians.
Let's require every man commenting on Jaqui's appearance (or every man with a "No Fat Chicks" bumper sticker on his truck for that matter) to provide a photo of himself in a bikini before we'll read his words...
I have a double album from them "Pentangle at their best " . I'm not big on folk music but these guys are first rate musicians ,if you can find a copy on vinyl check out the big Vox amps in the background on the cover .
Thanks for the video. I first heard Pentangle around 1969, if I remember correctly. The sound of this immediately turned me 18 again. Wow, what a treat!
@dravidwake Considering that much of the music played by the late sixties/early seventies British folk-rock bands was based on old English folk songs that are hundreds of years old, I find this comment quite amusing. Here's my take: this music is played on acoustic instruments, which still sound the same today as then. A lot of late seventies rock and jazz used synthesizer sounds that immediately date them upon rehearing. Listen to a Cars or Return To Forever record to see what I mean.
Remember how fascinated you were when you first came across Mercury for the first time, Liquid but not, fazcinating to watch and it was (well to me) it felt amazing, I was eleven. Yhen when I heard Jacqui McShees' voice, it reminded meof the pleasure. Not a voice, a moment of pure something you want to dwell on and it never finish, Thank you for posting this.
I am with my girlfriends here in San Francisco and we are very stoned and enjoying every note of this fantastic music. We've been watching Pentangle videos all night. Exhilarating and refreshing. Star-shine!
Shut the fuck up about how the singer looks. Can you people not think about something else besides whether or not you're attracted to a woman when one is presented to you?
If this is what Folk Rock sounds like, I definitely want MORE!! Touching and beautiful, from start to finish! FYI, Jacqui McShee looks and sounds beautiful! I do not think any "mainstream diva" of today, can even dream of ever matching Jacqui's vocal abilities!
anyway...back to the music.....where did Pentangle find each other ? perfect combination...I found them in my brothers record collection in the mid 70's....timeless..
So, every book is judged by its cover is it? The moronic I'll give her one she aint fit et al commentary. It's not good enough for you then that she has an amazing voice and the band generally are outstanding musicians?
First of all Jacqui looked perfect for the time......secondly there wasn't a 'perfect' look ...if you were talented, everyone wanted to look like you....
how could anyone say that she is not beautiful? you people are just closed minded is all. i'll bet half of you couldn't score a chick of this caliber in a million years. just saying.
@davijeph Rue smells amazing, the scent is sweet and aromatic and impossible to describe. However the taste is intensely bitter. Someone might be enticed by the smell of rue, upon sampling it they would quickly regret their decision. Hence rue is a great metaphor for bitter regret, or bitterness over our foolish choices.
Thyme is a very ancient symbol of courage, valor, and strength of spirit.
Jacqui was one of the first women I ever adolescently fell in love with. Fantastic voice, magical appearance, sitting on a high stool and absorbed in her singing, forgetful of everything else...Too bad I couldn't find anyone in real life quite like her.
Jacqui McShee's the only singer I ever thought could have adequately covered Sandy Denny, and as far as I know she never did. And, yes, I include Prior and Tabor in that statement. I think maybe she still could with appropriate key changes - listen to some of her really recent stuff that's on YouTube. Yes, her voice is 40 years older now, but she has retained that remarkable clarity and restraint.
I would like to point out that thyme is a spice. The entire song is a garden metaphor which dates back to a very old madrigal. (I believe Shakespeare may have used the metaphor once or twice also.) The spelling of "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme" is not in error.
The comments on Jacqui McShee's looks are a sad reflection on how many modern people think, those that are media brainwashed imbeciles believe only perfect Barbie like creatures are entitled to the airwaves. Hence the complete rubbish folk have pretended to like, from a kind of 'not to be left out' syndrome. It's been so for decades............anyhow, I think she has something about her that men should like, apart from success. But of course success scares men, it's their preserve only......
@stbricesday if she didn't have the voice she has, I wouldn't consider her ugly, but I also wouldn't consider her pretty. she does have that voice though, and that makes her look sexy as hell. if I could go back in time and make her my wife, I wouldn't think twice
@stbricesday you are deluding yourself, but whatever. I came here looking for Jacqui because I know she has a fabulous voice. I know her as part of the John Renbourn Group. I wish I could sing a song and have the effect she created with "My Johnny Was a Shoemaker". I suppose it's reason enough to wish to be reborn as a woman (not that I actually think about that ;) ).
@stbricesday The ironic thing is she's a more feminine version of Lady GaGa (PHYSICALLY of course, Jacqui is bounds, eons beyond her in talent and self-awareness).
@stbricesday The internet brings out shallow ignorant people. I googled Jacqui Mc Shee and saw that she looks like a woman in her 60s and looking pretty well on it AND STILL DOING MUSIC! Let's see what Lady-fucking-Gaga or Britney look like in 40 years time shall we?
@dutchgoing Yes, absolutely right, (I looked after reading your post and Jacqui is indeed looking good, as she always did and making cool sounds too, good on her!).
@stbricesday you said it perfectly. Video killed the musicians...but those with ears can still enjoy real music...leave the tonedeaf brainwashed idiots to their britney crap. And yes, Jacqui is very attractive imo
Love how Danny Thomson detuned the E string to get that bottom note - guess it was "D" - but it sounds like the regret in this bluesy folk song just dropped down into a well of sorrow - very effective -
so far as time goes - what matters is that we made the most of it - and they certainly did when making this music. love this woman's voice... and her witchy looks.
It twas a different time I'm afraid. Now, especially for female singers, their look is irretrievably, irrevocably and irrefutably (and irritatingly!) glued to their persona. Their "look" is a major part of their celebrity whether they want that or not. This is the age of the 24 hour gym, internet porn, and advertising/media that exploits that look.
Hell, we depend upon that "look" for our GNP and it's one of the U.S. culture's biggest if not most successful export.
@Redveg993 i would have sex with grace slick and michelle phillips at the same time right now if i could. they're both well conserved, if you know what i mean.
@Redveg993 - Know what you mean- But saw comments about older Syd Barrett on Youtube -"Oh how sad how awfully tragic-- he really let himself go!!" -Jeez the poor man was at least 60- podgy and bald- Sometimes people don't think before the comment- I replied with- "Wait and see how YOU look at 60 sunshine!"
These people could all sing and play.Just want to say Danny Thompson is one of the strongest acoustic bassist to ever play, in any genre, to this day. I speak as a bassist, he is one of the greats.
@MysteryLily The caption refers to "The Pentangle" There was no "the" in the name. that's all I can see. After all there was only one caption. It was a common mistake.
The refered Thyme is an archaic english word which means the plant, time and virginity. It's a english-irish ballad dating as far as 1689, and plays with botanic symbols about warning young hearts against easy and false lovers. No caps mistake at all.

Hence the complete rubbish folk have pretended to like, from a kind of 'not to be left out' syndrome. It's been so for decades............anyhow, I think she has something about her that men should like, apart from success. But of course success scares men, it's their preserve only......

@stbricesday if she didn't have the voice she has, I wouldn't consider her ugly, but I also wouldn't consider her pretty. she does have that voice though, and that makes her look sexy as hell. if I could go back in time and make her my wife, I wouldn't think twice

@stbricesday you are deluding yourself, but whatever. I came here looking for Jacqui because I know she has a fabulous voice. I know her as part of the John Renbourn Group. I wish I could sing a song and have the effect she created with "My Johnny Was a Shoemaker". I suppose it's reason enough to wish to be reborn as a woman (not that I actually think about that ;) ).

@stbricesday The ironic thing is she's a more feminine version of Lady GaGa (PHYSICALLY of course, Jacqui is bounds, eons beyond her in talent and self-awareness).

@stbricesday The internet brings out shallow ignorant people. I googled Jacqui Mc Shee and saw that she looks like a woman in her 60s and looking pretty well on it AND STILL DOING MUSIC! Let's see what Lady-fucking-Gaga or Britney look like in 40 years time shall we?

@dutchgoing Yes, absolutely right, (I looked after reading your post and Jacqui is indeed looking good, as she always did and making cool sounds too, good on her!).

Love how Danny Thomson detuned the E string to get that bottom note - guess it was "D" - but it sounds like the regret in this bluesy folk song just dropped down into a well of sorrow - very effective -

It twas a different time I'm afraid. Now, especially for female singers, their look is irretrievably, irrevocably and irrefutably (and irritatingly!) glued to their persona. Their "look" is a major part of their celebrity whether they want that or not. This is the age of the 24 hour gym, internet porn, and advertising/media that exploits that look.
Hell, we depend upon that "look" for our GNP and it's one of the U.S. culture's biggest if not most successful export.
We love you Jacqui.

@Redveg993 - Know what you mean- But saw comments about older Syd Barrett on Youtube -"Oh how sad how awfully tragic-- he really let himself go!!" -Jeez the poor man was at least 60- podgy and bald- Sometimes people don't think before the comment- I replied with- "Wait and see how YOU look at 60 sunshine!"

@Redveg993 Because many women build their paradigm of life on their looks. Perhaps you don't, and that's wise of you.

I think the comment refers to the fact that the caption says "Time" rather than "Thyme." Though the song may be a play on words anyway...

@MysteryLily The caption refers to "The Pentangle" There was no "the" in the name. that's all I can see. After all there was only one caption. It was a common mistake.

petitemoineau 1 year ago
The refered Thyme is an archaic english word which means the plant, time and virginity. It's a english-irish ballad dating as far as 1689, and plays with botanic symbols about warning young hearts against easy and false lovers. No caps mistake at all.
