Notes:
No doubt Tom Rapp's best album. No weak songs here, only jewels. It sometimes sounds like
Donovan in his best years (perhaps even better). Listen to the beautiful arrangements of acoustic guitar,
Cello, Violin, Viola, Harpsichord, Flute, etc.
Most of the songs were written in Holland where Tom was
living for a couple of months in 1969 with his then wife Elisabeth.
