Free Music Review: FC brings back the trad. folk!
Hit: 5 Stars
After focusing more on a soft country-folk-rock feel in the mid 70's, Fairport parted with the American and Australian guitarists and vocalist and brought back Simon Nichol on this album. They also brought back the British trad. folk-rock of their early 70's albums like Full House and Angel Delight. This album (and the following Tippler's Tales) features a mix of traditional tunes and songs (arranged for rock band) with some contemporary originals (although the originals are from outside the band - fine tunes by Ralph McTell and Richard Thompson). These two late 70's albums probably have the highest ratio of traditional folk material in Fairport's career, and I think are the stronger for it - to me that's really what made them special, and I love their sound on this material. Although they have no stand out vocalist or lead guitarist as on more applauded albums, the vocals on this album suit the music wonderfully and it certainly sounds great to me. There's a little more energy and kick than on the more laid-back albums of the mid-70's, too (although the stately 12-minute title track is so slow it took me a while to really appreciate it.)
Recommended for those interested in the fusion of traditional folk and rock, or for someone looking to see if Fairport did anything good after their late 60's Sandy Denny/Richard Thompson heyday. (The 80's and afterwards period is enjoyable, too, but tends to scale back the trad. aspect a bit more).
