Format:Audio CD
This is simply wonderful.
MacColl was the inspiration for many, many, many (and possibly most!) of today's folk singers. From the political through to the mythical historic and the moving this collection, with some live and truly powerful recordings,will captivate. Prepare to feel the floor vibrate when you put this on...

Format:Audio CD
Ewan MacColl, with his finger-in-ear approach to folk, is a bit out of fashion these days. His ideas about 'authenticity' led him to assume a variety of strange accents when singing (sometimes within the same song), and his red-flag principles resulted in some efforts that time has been unkind to. On the other hand, some of his songs have received the ultimate compliment of being taken up by singers and regarded as genuinely traditional.

This disc is worth getting for those classics, like 'Shoals of Herring'; for historical / curiosity value; above all, for the original and by far the best version, lyrical and bitter-sweet, of Dirty Old Town. It's about Salford, you know!

Essential Ewan McColl 10 May 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
As it says - the definitive collection of the work of one of the architects of the Folk Song revival, returning Folk music to the people from the intellectual ivory tower where it had been pinned. Somewhat over-coloured by McColl's agit-prop theatre background and wanna-be Scots yearnings (he was from Salford), the songs still speak truly of working-class conditions and realities.
