| Here's a welcome re-release! Back in 1976, their classic Popular to Contrary Belief LP was the Dransfields' first traditional album together for six years, since their now lost Leader/Trailer LPs Rout of the Blues and Lord Of All I Behold. On Popular to Contrary Belief, Robin and Barry brought back the simple, uncomplicated approach to interpreting traditional songs and music that was so lacking in the mid-1970s - and these recordings for Free Reed continue to influence the folk revival and to set the standards for honest and straightforward performance of traditional song. Many rare out-takes and session recordings enhance this long-awaited release. |
