Cruel Sister
Pentangle
Released:
Jan 1970
Label:
Sanctuary Records Fontana
Pentangle's fourth LP lacks the jazzy exuberance of earlier releases. Instead, the band bores into the English earth, while fleshing out some traditional folk. One song, the 19-minute "Jack Orion," takes up all of side B with its woody percussion and the psychic guitar interplay of Bert Jansch and John Renbourn. Overall, Cruel Sister is a muted and fairly introspective affair. Like a lot of '60s bands shifting into the early '70s, Pentangle sounds as if it's retreating into the music.
