Kind of like folk music without the soul (that was harsh, but it's what I got from it).
Pretty split feelings on this one. The first half had some lovely singing passages, but the music and the song as it progressed into the second half... ehhhh.... not entirely sold on this one, I'm afraid. Kinda made me want to go and listen to a Joan Baez album instead.

Kate Bush owes pretty much everything to Annie Haslam, so there ya go. You should seriously check out more Renaissance.
