REVIEWS:

SOUTHERN RAG (Fore runner of Folk roots)

"Jake is being promoted as the artist most likely to revive interest in the hurdy gurdy,

without a doubt he is a virtuoso of considerable ability on that instrument but this is

not his only strength. 'The Cork March/Black Nag' is an object lesson on how to get the

most out of an Appalachian dulcimer by skilful and stylish playing, and he's a neat

guitarist to boot!... My favourite track at the moment is 'Durham Rangers'. Between them

Jake's hurdy gurdy and Emmanuelle Pariselles melodeon knock the Albion Dance Band

into a cocked hat!"........

NOTTINGHAM NEWS 1980

"A debut album of grace and charm"

MELODY MAKER:

"Jake Walton is surely worth a listen!"......

IRISH SCENE Ambrose Donohue 1980

"This is a good LP and shouldn't go unnoticed from one of the folk scenes most underrated

performers. If you get a chance to hear Jake Walton, do so!" ....

KEIGHLEY NEWS 1980

".....The resulting music is haunting and totally captivating. I honestly haven't heard an LP

of this style since the first Alan Taylor album. Walton is also a fine singer. Overall there is so

much invention, so much gentle power that this could be the folk album of 1980"......
