"There is a lush folk-rock sound from the opening bars of Henry Parker's Lammas Fair - cymbal splashes and an evocative guitar that splits the difference between Richard Thompson and the Byrds. But while the sounds betray a certain nostalgia for the late-60s golden age, the songwriting is all Parker's own ... An album full of old wisdom and new beginnings, deeply rooted in the wild landscape of northern England but ultimately outward-looking and welcoming".

"Second album from the Yorkshire-based metal guitarist-turned-folkie ... here's a touch of Bert Jansch about his finely articulated picking on the instrumental "Blackthorn"; he delivers a stark reading of the ages-old tale "Death And the Lady"; and on "Nine Herbs Charm" he deploys flute, double bass and congas in a near-jazzy groove. The song has echoes of Nick Drake, but Parker is already developing an original voice".

"Spellbinding modern folk: The album's timeles artistry is typified y "Nine Herbs Charm", where flute, percussion, double bass and guitars blend hypnotically with the enigmatic lyric to summon a mysterious world of wonder".
