Loved Pentangle when I was a young man. My 1980 stereo system needs some work before I can play my vinyl again.

So Strange. I was a serious Pentangle freak, having first heard the Cruel Sister album back in India over thirty years ago. I played everything I could find by Renborne in those days. I haven't heard Pentagle in at least ten years and now in the space of a couple of days have listened to two of their albums. Thank you Renborne for putting your music in front of me again."Ten thousand pounds would I'd freely give..."

Just beautiful…rest easy John Renbourn

Matthew Sunday

RIP John Renbourne! You were one of the greats 

Dave Goodwin

Hauntingly beautiful, as it was the first time I heard it...way long ago. I still have my original LPs of Cruel Sister and Basket of Light.

Paul Lavan

You weren't folk, you were jazz. Fuck off.

A wintry love, lost...

Both Lord Franklin and Cruel sister are exquisitely beautiful songs. Pentangle was extremely talented and I listened to them often in college. Lord Franklin is sometimes called "Lady Franklin's Lament." It is written about a sailor dreaming of Lady Franklin lamenting the loss of her husband. Although Renbourn does a fine job as the main singer, it is really the melodic wailing of Jacqui O'shea that raises the song to true artistry. Sinead O'conner sings my favorite version. Lady Jane Franklin loved her husband deeply and funded 7 expeditions to find him. It is really a song of lost love. The discovery of one of Franklin's ships yesterday brings this all back to memory.

I remembered the song but had forgotten the name of the group, Pentangle, until the announcement on the news of the discovery of one of Lord Franklin's lost ships. The sonar image is so haunting. Years ago I wrote my own verse to the song, "But still old seamen they whisper and say, Somewhere in the frozen mists in the month of May, Looms a ghostly vessel and a spectral crew. The spirit of Franklin that one day will come through."

Spooky? Or just coincidence. I played this (on Spotify) yesterday for the first time in years - for no particular reason, and this morning I hear of the discovery of the ship.Incidentally, this was also my first Pentangle record - long gone now - and yesterday on Wikipedia I read that it was a commercial disaster. Mainly, I suspect, because of its 18m38sec track, Jack Orion, which I rarely listened to right through.

Cruel Sister was one of the first albums I ever bought. It is long lost, but I have never forgotten the haunting beauty of this ballad. And now with the discovery of one of Franklin's ships, it comes back again. What a magnificent, enduring piece!

John Farrer

With the finding of the ship, Stan Rogers' "Northwest Passage" will be all over the Canadian media and a fine song it is too, but the words here go back to shortly after Franklin's disappearance and I gather some think they may have been written by Lady Franklin herself.

thanks for uploading this. I remember having the vinyl, so long ago....and this is such a great song....

David Tudor

This song shouldn't work - it's disjointed and arrhythmic and the electric guitar break in the middle is plain weird ... and yet ... and yet it is the most haunting song I've ever heard and after 40 years it still moves me.

The man himself teaching/playing it on youtube: " John Renbourn teaches "Lord Franklin" "

Lazy Shark

"Ten thousand pounds would I freely give To say on Earth my Franklin do live" "Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that" currencies change, but Dylan's "Bob Dylan's dream" maintains the same deep nostalgic feeling... both songs are strongly emotional grazie, rob
