DescriptionSource: CD Format: FLAC Year: 1976/1994  Son of Morris On, produced by Ashley Hutchings (of Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, and Albion Band fame) features English Morris dance tunes and songs played with a combination of traditional instruments (concertina, melodeon, fiddle, etc.) and modern ones (electric guitar, bass, drums). Originally recorded in 1976 by a number of already and soon-to-become household folk names, the whole thing is a marvelous celebration of English ritual dance. Phil Pickett's arrangements of bagpipes, curtal and shawm are glorious, Shirley Collins' breathy singing throughout and coy pastoral dialogue with John Tams on Bring Your Fiddle beautifully seductive, the concertinas of John Rodd and John Watcham sharp-edged and, as you'd expect, Martin Carthy's guitar is truly avant garde. John Tams' delivery of song and doggerel is a delight and the percussion from Michael Gregory demonstrates a lovely sense of pace. An inspired work from start to finish, full of fascinating twists and turns. Very English, very essential … and you can dance to it! Please seed. Don't just hit and run. Sharing Widget |
