Accolade were one of those short-lived late-'60s/early-'70s UK bands that attempted to expand
musical boundaries, mixing traditional English folk with some rock influences.
Prior to their collaboration in Accolade, both Gordon Giltrap (who remained for only one album)
and Don Partridge had enjoyed some solo recognition. Giltrap had released a pair
of critically praised solo albums, while Partridge (who was actually working as a busker),
enjoyed a fluke UK hit with the song Rosie)

Following a personnel shakeup that saw singer/guitarist Gordon Giltrap leave, the band returned with 1971's Accolade 2.
Again produced by Don Paul, the band's sophomore effort was actually far stronger than the debut.
With Partridge continuing to serve as chief writer (he's credited with six of the ten songs), his contributions
were far more varied than on the first album. Musically the set was pretty entertaining, mixing acoustic folk
and jazzy touches with occasional slices of more pop and rock-oriented material.
Highlights included the opener Transworld Blues with its lyrics in six (!) languages,
the surprisingly taunt rocker The Spider To The Spy (sporting inept harmony vocals), the bizarre
Cross Continental Pandemonium Theatre Company and William Taplin which is a moving
account of a man grown old. This is one of those albums that reward's patience.
The first time around it doesn't sound like anything special, but with repeatedly play,
it grows on you. Malcolm Poole had been in The Artwoods and Gordon Giltrap went on
to achieve solo success with acoustic-based material....(Tapestry of Delights)
