This album is the pinnacle of the Psychedelic Folk movement, with over 17 instruments featured on the album, ranging from a penny whistle to an oud to a water harp, in addition to deep, philosophical and often enigmatic lyrics and complex scoring. With songs ranging from the silly "Minotaur's Song' to the haunting and cryptic "Three is a Green Crown", The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter is one of the most beautiful and unique albums of the 1960s.
