What the Knickerbockers were to the Beatles, or what David Blue was to Bob Dylan, Forest were to the Incredible String Band: a very close mimic of the real McCoy, though not in the same league as far as petty concerns like originality go.

On their first LP, the rustic charm is matched, or canceled, by meandering compositions and arrangements that don't really go anyplace interesting. It's now been combined with their second LP on a CD reissue on BGO.
