SARR - The Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter


Music made by the hippies that lived down the hall from you in college, giggling into all hours of the night in a haze of marijuana smoke and patchouli, if those hippies knew how to write a song as good as the tunes on this record. Nuggets of humorous tongue-in-cheek folk music abound, augmented with water harps, dulcimer, pan pipes and everything you can find in your kitchen closet. A highlight: “The Minotaur’s Song,” where we learn that the mythical beast can’t dream well because of his horns.
