3.5 stars. Prog Folk isn't my favourite genre so please consider this with my rating. First off I have to say that I love David Cousins vocals.

The record opens with "A Glimpse Of Heaven", and the highlight for me is Rick Wakeman on organ here that gets pretty crazy, then you hear the organ over the picked banjo, cool. "Thirty Days", "Flight" and "Sheep" are all very sixties sounding, and you can hear the BEATLES sound on "Thirty Days". "The Hangman And The Papist" has amazing lyrics and is probably the best song. "The Shepherd's Song" is the only song where Rick plays mellotron and moog, good song. "I'll Carry On Beside You" has a bit of THE BAND sound, and David Cousins plays lead guitar on this one as well as on the bonus track.

If your into Folk music or the sixties sound, check this excellent record out.
