Fairport Convention
In the decades since its original release, more than one writer has declared Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief the definitive British folk-rock album, a distinction it holds at least in part because it grants equal importance to all three parts of that formula. While Fairport had begun dipping their toes into British traditional folk with their ...

Fairport Convention have had their fair share of anthologies, but the double-disc set Meet on the Ledge: The Classic Years (1967-1975) is arguably the best yet, rivaling the classic Fairport Chronicles, which was released just as the classic lineup was splitting apart. Meet on the Ledge is more exhaustive than that collection, and it also boasts a ...

Fiddler's Green
Simply put, this German band creates some of the most original and tasty Celtic-rock outside of the U.K. and Ireland. The self-described "Irish Independent Speedfolk" clan isn't afraid to mix it up either. At times they conjure up elements of the olde English ska band the Specials as well as the wacky Tex-Mex-Polka band Brave Combo. But whether ...

So titled because, chronologically speaking, it immediately predates 1975's Rising for the Moon album, Before the Moon is a two-CD recounting of two nights in Denver, CO, in 1974, with Sandy Denny back in the Fairport fold for the first time in five years. Historically, then, it ranks as one of the key documents of the band's 1970s history, both ...

Whether this is intended to be a best-of for British folk-rock of the late '60s and early '70s is unclear from the packaging, but New Folk Routes is a pretty good 18-track survey of the scene (though one cut is of a fiddler from the early 1900s). As you might expect, Fairport Convention and their spinoffs are the main axis, with selections not ...
