Magical Man - Lal & Mike Waterson (1972)

Moving on from, but not forgetting their folk roots, the album is a post psychedelic collection of songs recorded in a ‘loose & anarchic’ fashion in Cecil Sharpe House with a folk-rock super group numbering Richard Thompson, Norma Waterson, Maddy Prior, Martin Carthy & Ashley Hutchings.

A true record for loonies, but it also has some amazingly delicate folkish ballads as well. A fantastic record all over, and newly reissued. Check it out, folks.
