	Incredible String Band Live at the Iron Horse and Joe's Pub
		Mike introduced the band as "our own tribute band," saying that they had waited long enough for a tribute band to form, and when one didn't, they decided to do their own.
		In 2000, Robin Williamson, Clive Palmer, and Mike Heron reunited for a couple of years doing gigs as the Incredible String Band before Robin left to continue persuing his own solo career (for info concerning Robin, visit Pigs Whisker Music), leaving Mike and Clive at the nucleus of the current Incredible String Band.
		I can't really give a blow-by-blow description of what I thought was as good as or maybe even better than the record or the classic ISB recordings of old, but I was mesmerized both evenings by their joy, charm, and their truly incredible interplay.

		Their 2003 tour exhumed classics from the first six ISB albums, generally acknowledged to be the band's artistic high water mark.
		ISB had been riding the huge critical acclaim of their third album The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter and a string of beautiful releases in its wake (Wee Tam, The Big Huge, I Looked Up, and the ambitious, sprawling medieval road show U).
		Almost immediately after The Incredible String band had finished recording their debut album for Elektra Records in 1966, virtuoso banjo player and third guitarist Palmer left the group to travel to Kashmir (and eventually to form C.O.B.).

	The Incredible String Band
		The Incredible String Band was certainly there before Steeleye Span, and before Fairport Convention, and before the Strawbs, but whether there was somebody on that same circuit before the ISB, I don't know, and at this time in my life, don't even want to know.
		Williamson and Heron are fine songwriters in their own right, and their numerous "stylizations", while they certainly are little more than that and, in my humble opinion, do not convey the required medievalistic atmosphere as well as those of their successors, are always pleasant, sometimes memorable, and, on rare occasions, brilliant.
		Actually, coming off from a few extra bits of info about the band, I'm surprised to learn that it was Palmer who was the "glue" holding the trio during these first three years, with Heron and Williamson practically hating each other.

		By the early Seventies the band were drawing upon just about every musical style and idiom under the sun, and continued to release albums with indecent regularity.
		Devotees travelled from as far afield as Argentina and Australia to attend, and were there again in 2000 when the officially-reformed Incredible String Band—which by this time had recruited the long-lost Clive Palmer, Welsh keyboard wizard Lawson Dando and Bina Williamson—did a short concert-and-festival tour, playing to wildly enthusiastic sell-out crowds at every venue.
		The remaining line-up of Heron, Palmer and Dando was augmented by the singer and multi-instrumentalist Fluff.

		Not that any `TISB' tunes made a general splash, there are certainly some memorable lyrics from previous albums which always come to mind when I return to them, as I do about once a year when I go on a TISB listening marathon.
		If you are a new to The Incredible String Band or this album has simply escaped your attention, I recommend it as a good source of more enjoyable TISB listening, especially with the original four, including the two ladies, Rose Simpson and Licorice McKechnie.
		The String Band were one of my very favorite acts of the era and I still listen to several of their recordings regularly and I feel almost disloyal in making that statement.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album reissues by folk rolk Incredible String Band called Be Glad For The Song Has No ...
		Try as their emulators might, there was nothing quite like the Incredible String Band.
		Dark mutterings of their veering ultimately toward a more commercial electric folk rock sell-out by the mid-70s did not detract the band and indeed the later ‘electric’ albums reissued in these excellent, top value 2-for-1 sets from BGO have weathered the passage of 30 years rather well.
		Of these four albums it is the most acoustic, experimental, charmingly shambling, and the closest to sound-tracking the smoke of camp-fires, dope and essence, all under a blanket of stars.

	Incredible String Band Liquid Acrobat As Regards The Air CD
		Just like 'Hangman' this is a real lesson in musicianship; don't be fooled by the 'out of tune' vocals or the seemingly sloppy tempo and structural changes, this is stream of consciousness music played by people on top of their game.
		This was the first ISB album after Rose left the band, though Likky was still there to add the loved feminine touch.
		While some ISB fans think this LP was the beginning of a sorry downward path for the band after the marvellous and more acoustic records of the 1960s, this is really not doing justice to it.

	The Incredible String Band
		With its two principal songwriters Robin Williamson and Mike Heron, the ISB's heyday was the 1967-72 period, when their albums were navigated by producer Joe Boyd and their live shows mixed mime, improvisational theatre, and rambling compositions played on an increasing number of ethnically exotic instruments in front of devoted audiences of chemically-fueled fans.
		The band was definitely a product of their times and are best remembered by the brilliance they showed during the mid- to late-seventies.
		The ISB was never known as Clive's Incredible String Band, but the Glasgow Club in which we used to play was called Clive's Incredible Folk Club.

	Ground and Sky review - The Incredible String Band - The Incredible String Band
		The Incredible String Band was a pair of Scottish songwriters and multi-instrumentalists (not always played expertly, mind you, but that added to the charm): Robin Williamson and Mike Heron.
		The ISB only existed for some 8 years or so, but in that time were extremely prolific, releasing over 10 albums and in the process influencing everyone from Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin to Chris Cutler of Henry Cow.
		Overall, it sounds lightweight compared to where they were soon to go (hell, Robin Williamson only plays five instruments here!), though there is the occasional glimpse offered at the band's eclectic and pan-cultural yearnings (e.g., "Maybe Someday," which Heron describes in the liner notes as "Bulgarian, Indian, Scottish, and schizoid").

		I assume that almost everyone reading this review: (a) already has at least one album by the Incredible String Band, (b) but not this one, and (c) is wondering whether to spend their hard-earned money on it.
		The style is somewhat simpler and more acoustic than on their later albums, but it's a million miles from the sort of folk music that was around at the time.
		The first album by the Incredible String Band is slightly more straightforward than some of their later output, but there are glimpses (Smoke Shovelling Song for example) of the psychedelic wonder to come.

	The Incredible String Band : The Incredible String Band - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The debut release from the original Incredible String Band trio -- Robin Williamson (violin/whistle/mandolin/guitar/vocals), Clive Palmer (banjo/guitar/vocals), and Mike Heron (guitar/vocals) -- was also their most simple.
		It is this minimalism that allowed the natural radiance of the band's (mostly) original material to be evident in the purist sense, and likewise without many of the somewhat intricate distractions and musical tangents that their future work would incorporate.
		With an unmistakable blend of distinct instrumentation and harmony vocals, the Incredible String Band take inspiration from traditional music on both sides of the Atlantic.
