The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography concludes:
He is admired for the breadth and variety of his repertory, some 140 items ranging from rough bawdry to high balladry, but above all for his technique, based, according to the British Broadcasting Corporation producer Francis Dillon, on ‘a carefully placed decoration, a beautifully judged phrasing, an exact control of highly complex rhythm and a singing tone which requires no accompaniment’. The Bonny Labouring Boy from the album of the same name is track thirteen on the first Civil Defense of the Topic Records 70 year anniversary boxed set Three Score and Ten. Roy Palmer (2004).
