[1971] John Renbourn - The Cuckoo

listen to the song:


This is one of the delightful british-folk songs, that are merged with psychedelic sitar play. The gentle
 vocals of John Renbourn add their cream to it! This reminds a bit on the "Basket Full of Light"
album by Pentangle, what's no wonder, since he was a member of the band.

[1970] Shelagh McDonald - Peacock Lady

listen to the song:


Wonderful baroque pop and british-folk mixture! Released  in october 1970 on her selftitled debut
album. You can read more about Shelagh in this Guardian article "Experience: I disappeared for 30 years".

[1969] Pentangle - Light Flight

listen to the song:


A wonderful british folk tune with gentle female vocals, that add that special something to this tune. Also the bassline is very noteable!

Lyrics:

Let's get away, you say, find a better place,
Miles and miles away from the city's race,
Look around for someone lying in the sunshine
Marking time, hear the sighs, close your eyes...

Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...

Stepping from cloud to cloud passing years of light
Visit the frosty stars in the backward flight
Star becomes a vision, never mind the meaning,
Hidden there, moving fast, it won't last...

Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...

Time passes all too soon, how it rushes by,
Now a thousand moons are about to die
No time to reflect on what the time was spent on,
Nothing left, far away, dreamers fade

Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Strange visions pass me by, winging sweetly close inside [*]
O-ver the wa-ter, ah....

Swirling, the waters rise up above my head.
Gone are the curling mists how they all have fled.
Look, the door is open, step into the space
Provided there

Da do da, da, do da...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
