Swaddling Songs is a music studio album recording by MELLOW CANDLE (Prog Folk/Progressive Rock) released in 1972 on cd, lp, vinyl and/or cassette. Too bad Mellow Candle weren’t able to make more of a go of things back then, but this album leaves an impressive and lasting legacy. Highly recommended to prog folk fans for sure.

While these booklets can be expected to exaggerate (for example, later on in that same paragraph it calls the album ‘a genuine masterpiece’ which could be considered a slight exaggeration perhaps) this is probably true. On its release in 1972 Swaddling Songs was totally ignored.
