Waterson:Carthy, Common Tongue

CD Topic Rec.  1996 (TSCD 488)

The album was produced by Tony Engle and recorded at Panda Sound Studios by Oliver Knight. The arrangements are lively like the cover, designed by John Haxby with photographs by Tom Howard. Wonderful is the interpretation of "Lowlands of Holland". Barnaby Stradling sounds fine on "Rackabello" and "Lowlands of Holland".

Il disco è prodotto da Tony Engle e registrato ai Panda Sound da Oliver Knight. Gli arrangiamenti sono vivaci così come la copertina, disegnata da John Haxby su fotografie di Tom Howard. Splendida è l'interpretazione di "Lowlands of Holland".  Barnaby Stradling suona egregiamente su "Rackabello" e "lowlands of Hollands".
