ASHLEY HUTCHINGS, JOHN KIRKPATRICK, ET AL. — The Compleat Dancing Master (CGLP4416)
BUY THIS RECORD! ! For anyone who has even the remotest affection for folk-rock and English dance music of the Fairport/Hutchings/Thompson ilk, this record is an unqualified must; English dance music (and some readings, which, surprisingly, only make the recording better) from various eras and styles, all delivered with consummate, rocking authenticity and that occasional touch of electrification which was the signature of the participants.
Selection: Bernard Hepton as the Puritan William Prynne (reading from “Histriomastix”)
