This blog contains no downloads only opinions. The plan is to rate every album I own, eventually... 99% of which are Metal!

GORDON GILTRAP - Fear of the Dark (1978)


MMMM

Certainly the only album which could be described as 'folk' you are going to find in my collection (well, All About Eve maybe...), and even then this album has something of a 'rock' edge, despite being played for the most part on an acoustic guitar. Giltrap's playing is pretty mesmerizing and I remember hearing this for the first time about twenty four years ago and being thoroughly blown away by it. It still sounds pretty impressive today and the acoustic parts don't date (unlike the rather weak side one closer 'Weary Eyes').
