Released in 1969, Basket of Light is widely considered the peak of The Pentangle’s career and a foundational classic of the "prog-folk" genre. It successfully merged traditional English folk with jazz-inflected rhythms and medieval atmospheres, becoming the band's most commercially successful work by reaching No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart. The album is celebrated for its intricate, purely acoustic instrumentation—achieving a complex sound without the use of electric instruments or studio trickery.
