 Rating: - RIP Bobby EagleshamI've just googled Bobby's name after listening to his lovely voice again on the Collected burns CDs, and read about his death three years ago. What a loss. His versions on these 5 hand reel discs of songs like Red red rose, ae fond kiss, Carrickfergus, Earl of Moray...are just utterly utterly beautiful. He really should have recorded a lot more. A great Scottish voice. Rating: - As good as I rememberedI heard some of 5 Hand Reel's material on vinyl in the late 70s and saw them in concert once (in Morecambe, Lancashire). (Was nearly deafened when they started the second half with three playing side drums!) I was exteremely pleased to see this re-release of 3 albums in a two CD format. This contains some of my favourite Folk Rock/Celtic Rock material and is recommended to fans of other 70s FR bands such as Steeeleye, Fairport or Horslips. Give it a try, I'd be surprised if you were disappointed. Rating: - Folk rock at its bestI love this band having 5 Hand Reel and the Earl of Moray on LP. I was also fortunate enough to have seen them twice in the 1970s at the University of Bristol. They were fantastic on stage and these recordings are not over engineered so even though they are studio recordings you can appreciate the energy they had. Great memories and a pity they only recorded the 3 albums and with the death of Bobby Eaglesham there will never be a reunion. If Dick Gaughan reads this thanks Dick for this band as well as your solo work which I also love. Rating: - Well worth the waitAnyone who knows anything about folk music, and folk/rock of the late 1970s in particular, will need no introduction to this collection of the three classic LPs that Dick Gaughan, Bobby Eaglesham & Co recorded for RCA. To say that their release on CD has been long and eagerly awaited is the understatement to beat all understatements. The good news is that they have all been digitally remastered from the original tapes, and they sound superb. I used to own the second and third (probably the most commercial) LPs and I can safely say they sound as good now as I remember them then. The accompanying booklet contains a factual history of the band and synopsis of the album tracks, by John O'Regan of BGO Records, together ... Read More: |
