In their lifetime England's "The Amazing Blondel" released some pretty lovely songs and albums. Blondel (1973) was their 6th album and were a band by then of two featuring the song writing of Eddie Baird and Terry Wincott. With antique-like musical virtues and a certain English charm, "Blondel" glistens and remains IMHO one of their finest albums. "Young Man's Fancy" is one of the finest Amazing Blondel songs which hits spiritual levels for me!
" Enough..........tuck velvet trousers into buccaneer boots, pull on a suede jerkin, light the tallow-lamp, prepare a platter of spiced chicken and pulses, pour copious glasses of mead, pull up a throne to a blazing fire and listen........."
Musically this album departs from the Baroque-Renaissance vibes and instead follows a vocal folk path with top results. Wincott and Baird sing in harmony throughout this album and deliver a delicate bit of beauty for your ears!
