Steeleye Span

UK 1976 press. Library copy with stamps.
Second album from the folk rockers and the first without drums, which weirdly makes it hit even harder. All winding electric guitars, ancient ballads and harmonies that sound like they’ve been echoing through stone halls for centuries. Dark, hypnotic, and properly rooted in the old weird Britain vibe. A cornerstone of electric folk. FFO: Fairport Convention after too much mead, Pentangle if they’d cranked the amps, medieval ghosts with Fender pickups.
