Record seller:This is a fantastic copy of the LP 'In Your Eyes' by Nutshell on the UK Myrrh label. It's a great folk psych offering with some religious overtones. The female vocals are beautiful and the musicianship is superb.
Freak Emporium:
Nutshell is a trio folk group similar to Parchment, Tantalus, The Johnstons and Mr. Fox. One of the good example of the British folky sounds in the 70s.
One-way.org:
A British folk group whose music revolved around the song writing talents of Paul Field. On this first album Pam May and Heather Barlow round out the trio whose most obvious parallel is the American trio 2nd Chapter of Acts.

Yet another use of the word "psych" by a record seller to try to lure customers. They're nothing at all like Mr Fox - in fact (in folk terms) about as far from Mr Fox as you can get! While Mr Fox are dark and disturbing, Nutshell are, as one of the reviews says, mellow folk.

Did anyone else notice that the song "Sara" features the exact same chords as the Twin Peaks song. In fact, I'd go so far to say that the Twin Peaks song is a direct ripoff! Nutshell should sue.
ReplyDeleteNewelectricmuse: 'record seller'? 'Customers'? How much were you charged to download this, then? Mr Fox aren't all that psych anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have one of these on vinyl.
ReplyDeleteTop notch UK christian folk.
ReplyDeletedon't know why I took so long to check this out...In your eyes is seriously an awesome album...can't wait to listen to Flyaway, thanks lizardson for this
ReplyDeleteanyone else notice that "Feel like a River" on Flyaway seems to break up a lot in the middle of the track? Could this be an error in my download or is that just the rip? Thanks again the album is excellent
ReplyDeletethanks, my husband has a Paul Field album on vinyl, which is quite good, so will be interested to hear these.
ReplyDeletePaul Field has both of these Nutshell albums available on his website. Please support the artist! www.paulfield.com
