..The Fairy Queen and her maides daunced about the garden, singing a Song of six parts, with the musick of an exquisite consort; wherein was the lute, bandora, base-violl, citterne, treble-viol and flute. -from The Honourable Entertainment at Elvetham, anon. 1591
This is another of my favorite albums by The Baltimore Consort, an ensemble that I am so very fond of. Needless to say I rarely have time to post anything these days, thus filling requests is much more difficult without time. Someone asked for more Baltimore Consort recordings a while back and I'm more than happy to oblige; I will, in time, be posting everything they have released anyhow.
I will add information and thoughts about this lovely release, Watkins Ale, as soon as I can find some real time to do so.

Hello quelopario, so happy you like it! Thank you also for commenting. TZ
Watkins Ale! Brings to mind Metaphysical Tobacco! This is a long-shot, but, is there any chance you [or your readers] might have a 1973 London Records various artists release called "Freaking Out At Court"? It includes a piece titled "Mother Watkins Ale" & three pieces praising the glories of 'tobacco', one being titled "Metaphysical Tobacco". See:

Many thanks, I look forward to listening to Watkins Ale.

Baltimore Consort - more, please!
Hey Brian, thank you for commenting! I cannot say that I know of the album you speak of; sounds pretty damn interesting however :) "Metaphysical Tobacco"....now that's a great name for a song! Love it. I will look into this, and see what I can find out.
