Both Wootons have a solo lp.

Very difficult to find.

This album is like crack... I keep going back to it over, and over again.

The followup album is amazingly disappointing, though.

Great Album!!! Thanks a lot

Still occasionally throw this one on.

Its tragic that only 14 people have have replied to this thread. This album is a classic in every sense and a must for both prog rock and folk rock fans. I once saw the album described as "freak folk" and I'd say that description perfectly sums up this album. The singing is just plain twisted at times and the instrumentation something very special, wow 1971 was a stunning year in rock.

Oh I love this album. Definitely brilliant.

also the year I was born, and I'm stunning

back to the topic - just heard it for the first time today and liked it well enough to rate it "very good"

still, i'm a bit disappointed they didn't go the whole hog and made something as freaky as Red Krayola's The Parable of Arable Land

The Red Krayola album is great album as well and pre-dates the Comus album by about 3 to 4 years. Of the two I slightly prefer the Comus album, but there's not much in it really.

I have never heard the album. I was going to get it following good press a few years ago, but that was followed by negative reviews. This thread has given me encouragement to consider the album again.

It is my favorite of all Folk Prog records. It is a strange collection of songs, the mood bordering on chaos and despair mostly, although there are some very soothing and lilting melodies included also. Each song is detached from the next and they have quite a psych bent to them. Youtube just about has the whole album.
