About this album
Cruel Sister is Pentangle at their most austere and affecting, turning English folk source material into something both ancient and forward-looking. Released in 1970, the album leans further into traditional songs than its predecessors, with the band’s acoustic interplay giving old ballads a cool, dramatic intensity. Bert Jansch and John Renbourn’s guitar work, Danny Thompson’s bass and Terry Cox’s percussion frame Jacqui McShee’s clear vocal lines with remarkable poise. Highlights such as Lord Franklin, A Maid That’s Deep in Love and Jack Orion helped define the group’s reputation for combining folk authenticity with jazz-like precision, making the album a key statement in British folk-rock.
