Basket of Light

Basket of Light (1969) captures Pentangle's blend of British folk and jazz-tinged rock, featuring intricate acoustic guitar interplay, Jacqui McShee's clear, modal vocals, and a rhythm section that favors subtle jazz and folk grooves. The album mixes reworked traditional material and original songs with spare, detailed arrangements that foreground fingerpicked guitars, close vocal harmonies, and occasional blues and jazz inflections. It is often viewed as a defining and accessible statement of the group's folk rock approach.
