While best known for his work with the Incredible String Band, his first solo work, Myrrh, contains some of his finest material.
Myrrh was my first contact with the ISB. I didn't like it at all - it was not accessible. Years later, I have grown to love it. The songs are mystical and celtic. The music is spiritual, moving and profound.
Williamson seems to be a unique artist - and for those who like his more serious side, "Cold Harbour", "I see Us All Get Home", "Through the Horned Clouds", "Will We Open The Heavens" and "Dark Eyed Lady" are all unforgettable.

I like many have a very old and worn copy of this gem. Robin in his String band period, singing and playing even more magic and wondereous stories. There is something very endearing about this album some very personilized pieces that take you on a journey, well worth the price of admission. If you love the string band don't hesitate with this release or if you are just a fan of Robins this is a must have in the jigsaw. Also BGO have done a wonderful job in remastering and re packaging here. It comes in a slip case very faithfully reproduces and extensive sleeve notes which make facinating reading. Also check out their release of Be glad/Liquid acrobat, incredibles it has had the same treatment. Totally recomended

The few people who have heard this album fall into two camps - they hate it or they love it. Perhaps it appeals to the hopelessly romantic, because Robin Williamson's work is often inclined to poetic fantasy, and in this album he has not restrained that inclination. I was first struck by the poetic lyrics, and then by the range of instruments Robin plays, but I have never tired of the music. One of my all-time favourites, and not easily classified into a particular genre.

Enchanted and arcane
Myrrh is one of the most exquisite and wierdest of albums. This was the first ISB related album that I heard, and the start of a journey still barely begun. Read more

Strange but beautiful Myrrh
When Williamson began to feel ill at ease within the ISB-concept that was beginning to look like a Heron's brainchild, he took his imagination elsewhere and produced this solo... Read more

One for the Incredible String Band collection
"Myrrh" has been strangely neglected considering it's the only Williamson solo album from the Incredible String Band era. Read more
