Nottamun Town
British and American folksongs and ballads. Martin Best, guitar

"...a ringing authority that at moments I find quite startling."--folklorist Douglas Kennedy
The artistry of John Langstaff is celebrated in this stunning recording of some of the finest British and American ballads and folksongs. Whether supported by guitarist Martin Best's tasteful renderings of Cecil Sharp's piano accompaniments or singing a capella, Langstaff's sensitive perfomance of these songs is a rare treat for the listener. The 16 selections were originally recorded in 1964 for EMI.
