Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the departure of defining vocalist Sandy Denny, the newly all-male lineup doubled down on driving, electrified interpretations of traditional British folk tunes. Driven by the formidable interplay between Richard Thompson's fiery electric guitar and Dave Swarbrick's searing fiddle, it established a heavier, instrumental-focused template for the genre.
