this album is wonderful; if the tracks had been elaborated and developed even further, it could have been a double album for the amount of ideas and good music contained here, together with the previous A Beard and the subsequent Electric, the perfect triad of Marc. more

The mother of the British folk revival here accompanied by her consort Ashley Hutchings, who gathers a large band of friends who gradually drop by the sessions, and together they sing and play 9 beautiful songs from Albion's folk tradition. Thus was born "No Roses," a wonderful album where Collins’ traditional style opens up to a sound that leaves room for a backdrop of electricity. Electric bass, drums, and the discreet but ever-present accompaniment of electric guitars (including Richard Thompson's, who plays a humble yet useful supporting role) dominate the arrangements just as much as the numerous traditional instruments typical of this music (fiddle, concertina, hurdy-gurdy, and others). Many names are involved, including sister Dolly and Ian Whiteman on piano, Lol Coxhill on saxophone (in an unprecedented context for him), and many more. A splendid album. more

Incredible musicians, John Lennon and George Harrison, the former a remarkable songwriter, the latter a fantastic guitarist. Ringo Starr, perhaps not the best drummer, but still great. And then there's Sir Paul, the great and eternal bassist: very talented, but now it's pretty unwatchable. Plastic, as charming as a puddle when you're wearing white shoes, and more focused on pseudo vegan activism than on music. In short, 10 for John, 9 for Harrison, 8 for Starr, and 6 for McCartney. Together, they made history, they have made it and will remain so. If only after 50 years since they split, the living ones would stop parading their successes... more
As a solo artist, he's a decent songsinger. His uselessness in the Pooh reunion is immense, and his bass skills are embarrassing. But damn, he did get Viola Valentino... more
a beautiful voice, a guitar, and an excellent repertoire...and what else? more

Singer-songwriter and modest guitarist, little songs from the early 70s. Then after "Si può dare di più" it was a disaster after another. However, "Gloria" is a classic. more
