thanate | music question: (Reply)

A couple people have been posting some of their most favorite and meaningful songs, and I have been thwarted in doing likewise since mine are not sufficiently popular to be on You-Tube. (My two most-listened-to songs ever are Jonatha Brooke's cover of "Bleecker Street", off of a Greenwich Village in the 60s tribute album of the same name, and "This is Me" by Eddie from Ohio. I would not swear to a complete understanding of what either of them is about.) However, in the process of searching down something else, I discovered the band Pentangle, and that I really like their versions of traditional songs ("the leaves do grow green", "sovay", "the house carpenter"...) but don't particularly care for their more modern stuff at all.

Is anyone else familiar with the band, and could you possibly recommend a CD or two that's mostly traditional rather than recently-authored? I could start downloading single songs from Amazon or somewhere, I suppose, but I'm also having trouble telling what's what when I don't actually recognize the song titles.
