liege and lief

180g gatefold LP"

The fourth album from the Fairport Convention, originally released in 1970, is considered by many to be theparamount ofBritishfolk-rock. Afterthree solid albums offolk-rock that only hinted at theirBritish roots, Liege & Lief"is the first Fairport record to fully and completely embrace their home country. They roll through no less than four traditional British folk songs including an incredible reading of "Tam Lin" along with quality originals that pay tribute to and expand on their rich tradition. This is the last Fairport Convention recordto featurecore members Sandy Denny and Ashley Hutchings, and though it is decidedly British it is an absoluteclassic of electric folk-rock of any variety."
