Product Description

CD Description

First released in 1965, FOLK ROOTS, NEW ROUTES is a remarkably experimental record, uniting Shirley Collins’ beautiful singing with Davy Graham’s jazz-inflected guitar work. Although the partnership only lasted for this recording and a handful of live shows, it left a powerful legacy in the English folk song revival. The album captures the first really great accompanied English folk song and was a template for Fairport Convention’s seminal "Liege and Lief". For this carefully remastered edition Fledg’ling have restored all the elements of the original artwork and added several previously unpublished photographs. New sleeve-note essay by Ken Hunt; deluxe slip-cased packaging. Tracks: Nottamun Town / Proud Maiisrie / The Cherry Tree Carol / Blue Monk / Hares On The Mountain / Reynardine / Pretty Saro / Rif Mountain / Jane, Jane / Love Is Pleasin’ / Boll Weavil, Holler / Hori Horo / Bad Girl / Lord Greggory / Grooveyard / Dearest Dear.

An Iconic Masterpeice 21 July 2006
Format:Audio CD
Without this album folk rock would never have happened. We would still be stood round singing with one finger in or ear and a pint resting on our beer bellies. If you only ever buy one folk albuum, make it this one

With Graham's virtuoso guitar and Shirley's ethereal vocals, how could this album fail? This really is as good as stripped down traditional folk gets and if you're unfamiliar with the genre this is a good starting point (Graham's guitar style will appeal to fans of Nick Drake and Bert Jansch who both acknowledge their debt to the Daddy of folk guitar). Folk, blues and jazz are all fused effortlessly on an album that has barely dated - this really doesn't sound 40 years old. Stunning.

Splendid! 17 Aug 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Not quite in the same league perhaps as some of her later work - particularly with her sister Dolly, but this is very fine disc all the same.

An unusual collaboration with blues guitarist Davy Graham - who also added a dash of 'The East'. Mainly traditional songs with Shirley singing and Davy on Guitar.

I particularly liked the versions of 'Nottamun Town' and 'Hares on the Mountain' - others will no doubt have other favourites.
