Side 2 of the LP is as near perfect a vinyl album side as you can ever find, all the songs on it, incidentally, written by Sandy Denny.
Track 1 is “Listen, Listen” (3.57), a brilliant song with a wonderful tune, inspired lyrics and a splendid arrangement. This can be said of all the songs on Side 2.
Track 2 is “The Lady” (4.00), a slower piece of immense beauty.
Track 3 is a most pleasantly rambling thing called “Bushes and Briars”, a phrase which has its origin in ancient English folk song, denoting the troublesome state land gets into when it’s left to its own devices. This comes in at 3.52 minutes.
The penultimate track on the LP is “It Suits Me Well” (5.05), a romany inspired whimsy, and again sheer joy to listen to.
The album ends with a classic song titled “The Music Weaver” (3.20), a majestic offering with soaring strings, forming a memorable and fitting cadence to the record.
