Isobel Campbell
Before she recorded Ballad of the Broken Seas with Mark Lanegan, Isobel Campbell recorded the breathtakingly beautiful Milk White Sheets. Instead of the showy country balladry she and Lanegan laid down, here Campbell delves deep into the sounds of 1960s British folk. In the liner notes she comes right out and says that Milk White Sheets was ...

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 ...

Rosemary Lane
(1971)
more music like this
by
Bert Jansch
Although rated very highly by many Jansch fans, Rosemary Lane isn't quite as striking as his best albums of the '60s. It's more of a delivery of all the attributes listeners had come to expect of him by 1971 -- excellent acoustic guitar work, imaginative interpretations of traditional material and well-constructed originals in the same vein, and ...

more music like this
by
Maddy Prior
Maddy Prior has challenged herself -- and her fans -- continuously throughout her illustrious career. While many of her solo releases since Steeleye Span's mid-'70s heydays have been spotty, they've never been boring. That troubadour spirit continues on "Arthur the King," a ten-part song cycle concerning the historical King Arthur, augmented by ...

Troubadours of Folk: The '60s Acoustic Explosion [Sanctuary]
(2003)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
The British folk revival didn't really get rolling until the mid-'60s, about the same time the American folk revival was morphing into folk-rock. While the British revival owed certain debts to its American counterpart, recording Dylan songs as well as new songs that sounded like Dylan songs, the movement soon found its legs and gave birth to ...

Folk Roots, New Routes

more music like this
by
Shirley Collins & Davey Graham
This pairing of one of British folk's finest voices (Shirley Collins) with one of the country's finest acoustic guitarists (Davey Graham) had a notable influence on the U.K. folk scene, although it eluded wide acclaim at the time. Collins' rich, melancholy vocals were most likely an influence on Sandy Denny, Maddy Prior, and Jacqui McShee. Graham ...

more music like this
by
Sandy Denny
Even before her all-too-tragic passing in 1977, Sandy Denny was touted as England's premiere female folk vocalist. However, gratuitous comparisons with contemporaries Jacqui McShee and Joni Mitchell seem to have been more of an albatross or doubled-edged sword than confirmation of Denny's wholly individualistic style. Depending on which side of ...

Martin Carthy
An astonishingly good album coming toward the end of Carthy's original partnership with Dave Swarbrick (they were to join the lineups of Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, repectively, within a year). The singing is, as always, first rate, nowhere better than on the haunting acapella songs "Salisbury Plain" and the nine-minute "Little Musgrave ...
