Comment
Originally used as a name to credit the musicians hired to accompany Shirley Collins in 1971, the Albion Band later became a group in their own right. Bass player Ashley Hutchings, who had previously founded and left both Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, is the driving force behind this group. The members use acoustic and electric instruments to create a folk-rock sound something like Fairport Convention's, but usually more typically English in character. They have existed as the Albion Band, the Albion Country Band, and the Albion Dance Band.
Another great studio session by a brilliant band.
Note: There is a short spoken intro to track 3, which I left on the end of track 2. This was because they broadcast it over the fade out of the previous track, so it wasn't possible to separate it. Ironically, there was an easy gap to cut between the intro & track 3. I would always rather have intros in the same file as the song they're introducing (or completely separate), but it wasn't practical this time.
I think the title of track 3 is correct, but I'm not certain. If anyone knows better, please let me know. This track also fades out early. This is as it was originally broadcast.
This is the fifth of several short folk sessions I intend to share from my cassette archives, which I recorded from BBC Radio 2's 'Folk On 2' programme.
