Free Music Review: Their Best Since the 70s
Hit: 5 Stars

During the 1980s, Steeleye Span drifted, producing only 3 albums in 10 years (after producing 10 albums in as many years during the 1970s). Then, after a reunion album, founding member Gay Woods returned. Her presence, combined with relatively new members Tim Harries on bass and Liam Genockey on drums, revitalized the band. The resulting album, "Time" is undeniably one of the best the band ever released, easily equal or superior to much of the their mid-70s output, which is saying a lot. For the first time since their first album, they had two female vocalists, and Harries also plays keyboard, something the band had only occasionally experiemented with. This combination unlocked a world of musical possibilities for the band, and "Time" realizes those possibilities brilliantly, with a lush sound unlike anything else they've done.
The album opens strongly, with a rocking "Prickly Bush" and an ironic "Old Maid in the Garrett" song by Maddy Prior and Woods. "Old Maid" turns into a hard-driving "Tam Lin Reel", along Peter Knight to show off his considerable fiddling talents. The albums then moves into gentler territory with the pleasant "Harvest of the Moon" and "Underneath Her Apron", and then turns dark with "The Cutty Wren", in which the band experimented with very complex vocal arrangements best appreciated with headphones. "The Elf Knight" is a wonderful ballad easily the equal of classic tracks from earlier albums like "Sir James the Rose" and "King Henry". "Go from My Window" is Woods' crowning moment with the band. The album wanders a bit at the end, with "The Water is Wide", a decent song that suffers from meandering fiddle moments, and "You Will Burn", a rather over-the-top song about witch burning. But the album revives with "Twa Corbies", a superior remake of a track off their first album, before ending with the pleasant but slight "The Song will Remain".
If you've never heard Steeleye Span before, this album is an excellent introduction to them. If you are a fan of their early-period material who laments their decline, this album will open your eyes.
