Ten of Songs is an album by the folk musician Robin Williamson, released in 1988.[1]
An AllMusic review claimed: "Ten of Songs is a delightful introduction into the storytelling side of Robin Williamson. These ten original pieces may not all be stories, per se, but Williamson's approach to each casually ebbs and flows between speaking and singing. His delivery evokes the Celtic heritage of sung ballads and story songs-traditions that have fascinated Williamson since his earlier days in the Incredible String Band. An electric guitarist, bassist, and drummer join Williamson on such riveting tracks as 'Skull and Nettlework'. Elsewhere, though, Williamson plays his usual array of acoustic instruments, including harp, guitar, cittern, and whistle. Listeners fond of Williamson's musical storytelling should also investigate his double-disc Gems of Celtic Story set".
Renaldo Migaldi, in the Chicago Reader, called the album "perhaps the most convincing example I’ve heard of bringing traditional Celtic music into today’s world without trashing its roots or turning it into some kind of bastardized rock and roll thing."[2]
