Liege & Lief is a pretty album. Fairport Convention have adapted old English folk songs to modern folk sound. Not only did they do that, but they also made these folk songs rock.
The songs are full of rich melodies and Sandy Denny has a wonderfully powerful voice. I like English folk music, especially the way Fairport Convention play it. They make it lively and exciting.
This is certainly an album worth listening to. I'm not sure what influence Fairport Convention has had on music to come, but their material and interpretation thereof is certainly notable.
The stand out songs are Come All Ye, Reynardine, Matty Groves, The Deserter, Tam Lin and Crazy Man Michael.
★★★★★★★★★☆
