Comments

Inside The Groove

A recoded live with full of laughs by a comical folk duo.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

It may be very funny live for the people of that day, but the music itself is ordinary folk music. Above of all, I am not a native English speaker/listener, so I think I cannot deserve the full of their music and talks...

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

2 out of 10
