Album: So Early in the Spring by The Pentangle (1990)
Genre: Rock | Style: Folk | Mood: Relaxed
Format: Album

Description: "So Early in the Spring" is an album by Pentangle. It was issued in 1989 in the USA on Green Linnet. It was reissued in 1997 on Spindrift.  Bert Jansch and Jacqui McShee cut this record with a new lineup featuring ex-Lindisfarne co-founder Rod Clements (electric guitar, mandolin), ex-Fairport Convention Gerry Conway (drums), and Nigel Portman-Smith (bass, keyboards). 
"The Baron of Brackley" ended the album well, but it lacks enough invention to sustain its eight-minute length. Tony Roberts guests on flute and whistle for several tracks, adding another sound to this welcome mix of folk-rock.
