Renaissance Ashes Are Burning CD

Born out of the ashes of the Yardbirds, Renaissance underwent a transformation in the early 70s, following personnel changes and the arrival of singer Annie Haslam & acoustic guitarist Michael Dunford. The group developed a unique style that fused strands of folk, classical and pop music. First released in 1973, "Ashes Are Burning" features Dunford's melodies and the lyrics of poet Betty Thatcher. The band established it's style with six romantic, yet dynamic compositions augmented by an orchestra-including the title track that became known as the band's anthem. Melodic, cleverly arranged & subtly performed, each song is a model of good taste, imbued with an indefinable magic. This edition comes in mini LP vinyl replica packaging with the original artwork, including a booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes (including an interview with Michael Dunford) by respected and journalist Chris Welch.
