The first Steeleye Span album ever. Released in 1970, this Steeleye Span album contains a large number of the best known and best loved tunes from this amazing band including: The Blacksmith, Blackleg Miner, My Johnny Was a Shoemaker, Twa Corbies and many more.
If you don’t agree that this is possibly the best folk rock album ever, then please feel free to have your own wrong opinion. 
I have posted and linked to many of the lyrics from this album. I know I have enjoyed singing these songs with my friends many, many times. I know you will too. Sing them – you know you want to.
| The Band at the time: Maddy Prior (vocals) Tim Hart (vocals, electric guitar, electric dulcimer, fiddle, 5-string banjo, harmonium) Ashley Hutchings (bass) Terry Woods (vocals, electric guitar, concertina, mandola, 5-string banjo, mandolin) Gay Woods (vocals, concertina, autoharp, bodhran) |
