Waterson:Carthy, Common Tongue, CD Topic Records 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".
