Martin Carthy - Rigs of the Time: the best of Martin Carthy (1993) [FLAC] (Size: 393.23 MB)
DescriptionSource: CD Format: FLAC Year: 1993  Over the past five decades Martin Carthy has been one of the most persistent and dedicated practitioners of English traditional music. He has been an essential figure in most of the significant developments in folk music during that time. To chronicle his career is to discuss the rich and diverse history of the English folk song revival since the early 1960s. His early work was an inspiration to both Bob Dylan and Paul Simon; Martin's reading of Lord Franklin became the template for Bob Dylan's Dream, whilst his arrangement of Scarborough Fair was the basis for the popular Simon & Garfunkel hit. More recently his influence has been widely acknowledged by artists as diverse as Paul Weller, Johnny Marr, Richard Thompson, Martin Simpson and Fleet Foxes. The CD Rigs of the Time collects together nineteen of his very best tracks (either solo, with Dave Swarbrick or as a member of Brass Monkey) from the recordings he has made over the years on both Topic and Special Delivery Records. It is a testimony to an enormously gifted singer and musician, whose intelligent approach to tradition has both made this music more accessible to wider audiences and enriched the British folk heritage.
