Don Crawford - Roots & Branches 1970

Earthy work from Don Crawford – a very unique artist who works in a mix of soul and folk modes. This album's got a pretty full set of arrangements, which makes for more of a Terry Callier-like quality than some of Don's other records – but even so, the music's more like the straighter 60s folk than some of the soaring soul sounds of his Cadet years in the early 70s. Crawford's got a deeply soulful voice that rings out beautifully in this setting – and makes the whole sound of the album come through beautifully.
