Steeleye Span Collection Steeleye Span In Concert CD

Here are Steeleye Span; in fact two different Steeleye Span's. One from the mid eighties remolding earlier tracks into a funky Merry England groove; immaculate bass from the soon to depart Rick Kemp, roaring guitar courtesy of Bob Johnson, two sparks to a flame which ignites on 'King Henry'. The other Steeleye, older, more measured, even stately, yet with a fresh impertinence. Peter Knight's carnival violin leading reels or echoing gothic classics with 'A Canon by Telemann'. Maddy Prior; the voice, the constant; relating tales of vulpine trickery, false loves and dances in the beyond. A new backline already adept in those old ethnic rhythms kick up the pace.
