Free Music Notes for Liege & Lief
Free Music Review: Gold standard folk rock
Hit: 5 Stars
Sandy Denny's voice would be worth the price alone, but the sensational work by the musicians with her,Richard Thompson,Dave Swarbrick,Simon Nicol,Ashley Hutchings,and Dave Mattacks just make this one of the all-time great entries in the late sixties folk rock lists. British Folk with a perfect insertion of SF acid that'll have you laying back weeping for those dear,dead days beyond recall.
Liege & Lief Poster
British hippies who started out emulating Jefferson Airplane, Fairport Convention escalated their homeland connections with each outing, culminating in this, their fourth album and a watershed for British folk-rock. Hindsight offers the ironic possibility that the Dylan covers of its predecessor, Unhalfbricking, opened a window onto the earlier Irish-English-Scots roots of the American music they loved, and Liege & Lief jumps through that window triumphantly. "Come All Ye" underscores their affinity for the Band yet is joyfully rooted in their own fertile folk traditions, echoed in a mix of classic songs from members Sandy Denny, Ashley Hutchings, and Richard Thompson, and given direct homage in the extended ballads "Matty Groves" and "Tam Lin," which evoke Neil Young & Crazy Horse in kilts. Fiddler Dave Swarbrick's arrival as a fulltime member adds new richness and a wonderful foil for Thompson's superb guitar leads. A medley of jigs and reels showcases their flair for hot-wiring traditional British Isles dances, a fixture ever since. --Sam SutherlandClassic Fairport Convention Album from 1969, Remastered and Includes Two Bonus Tracks: Alternate Versions of 'sir Patrick Spens' and 'quiet Joys of Brotherhood'.
