Pete
Castle - Tapping At The Blind "Tapping At The Blind" might have benefited from the reactions of a live audience. However, the studio recording does have an undeniable immediacy and combines with Castle's unedited little fluffs to convey the impression that the teller is recounting his frequently bizarre tales in your own living room. |
Tracks: Tapping At The Blind, The Maestro, The Armless Maiden, The Man In The Woods (Song), The Woman Who Married A Bear, The Bear Dance, At Last We're Alone. |
