A Glint at the Kindling is a folk album released in 1979 by Robin Williamson and his Merry Band. This album would be the last collaboration between Robin Williamson and his Merry Band. Largely biographical, the album's concept is based on Williamson's own poem entitled Five Denials On Merlin's Grave which in turn was inspired by five broad stages of ancient British history. Many of the tracks, including "Me and the Mad Girl" and "Lough Foyle", are still performed by Williamson today.

American Stonehenge is a folk album released in 1978 by Robin Williamson and his Merry Band. The 2006 CD re-release by Gott Discs includes as a bonus the poetry piece "Song of Mabon" from a 1982 Poetry London magazine cover flexidisk.

Within that, it is very much a "traditional" Williamson album - maddeningly funny, oddly eccentric, and deliberately obtuse all at the same time. The melodies are created from instruments as far apart as the jew's harp, swanee whistle, Celtic harp, and dobro, the puns fall like rain ("Rab's Last Woolen Testament" is a particular cracker), and there are moments when it seems impossible to reconcile the sheer majesty of the musical atmosphere with the knowledge that it was written and recorded in Los Angeles.
