I mean, I love a good stomping murder ballad as much as the next girl, but Reynardine puts all the hairs on the back of my neck and gives me genuine shivers. I don't know if it's natural drone resonance or if there's a slight phase on the guitars and things but the way that the notes *shiver* is just devastating.
It may be airy, but there is nothing simple about it at all, the chord structure and the way the melody bobs and weaves in and out of it ... it's much more complex than it seems.

"Tam Lin" got me into Fairport Convention ("Black Sabbath in aran sweaters," etc), so that; I'd always loved the Tam Lin legend since reading, what, Diana Wynne Jones' Fire & Hemlock as a kid.
