Child Carthy

FRCD 64

£7.99


This product is included in: The Carthy Chronicles
Twenty of the 'big' ballads and songs from the 'Child Ballads' and from many other archive and traditional sources. Here are fourteen unreleased and previously unavailable tracks, featuring performances with Dave Swarbrick, Norma & Eliza Carthy, Rory McEwen & Lisa Turner, Steeleye Span and Bert Jansch.

Perhaps Carthy's greatest source for these 'big' ballads that inlay his repertoire like fine jewels was the famed collection of the Victorian folklorist Francis Child - 'The Child Ballads' - which is his source for at least nine of these great songs. Martin began to unearth, to perform, and encourage others to perform these great ballads and songs, which soon found their way into the repertoire of folk-rock - via Steeleye, Pentangle, Ralph McTell and Albion - and thence to the wider world of rock, via Traffic, Jethro Tull, Tom Rush, Jerry Garcia, Paul Simon and Bob Dylan.
