Steeleye Span,
Bedlam Born

 

Park Records PRK CD55 (CD, UK, September 25, 2000)

 

Non ci sono parole per definire questo album che, ne siamo sicuri, farà felici gli appassionati. La band ritrova una verve ed una energia compositiva che provoca stupore. "Well done liar!" è un brano vibrante così come "John of Ditchford", cantata da Gay Woods e Tim Harries. Il libretto di accompagnamento è completo di tutti i testi; bella la grafica di copertina, un po' "noir", di Gwen Morgan.
