liege and leif

This fourth album of Fairport Convention, released in 1969, is regarded by some as the finest British folk-rock album. Mixing acoustic and electric sounds this album balances hippy acid rock with beautiful traditional English folk songs. Liege & Lief introduced a large new audience to the beauty of British folk, but Fairport Convention's interpretations spoke of the present as much as the past, and the result was timeless music in the best sense of the term.
