When Ashley Hutchings broke away from Fairport Convention in 1969, he recruited two musical duos to form Steeleye Span. They didn't seem to agree about very much at all. This fractious group imploded before their debut album was even released. Undeterred, two new musicians were enlisted, and the band continued. Then, Hutchings himself resigned. Rather than this being a disaster, however, it set in train what would become the band's most commercially successful period in the early 1970s. This was an extraordinary time for folk rock, but it was not to last. The second half of the decade saw another change in line-up, disappointing album sales and a two-year hiatus. All was not lost, though, and the classic line-up reconvened at the start of the 1980s. Covering a two-decade period, this book examines every album from Hark! The Village Wait in 1970 to Tempted And Tried in 1989. The fascinating history behind the traditional songs on these albums is examined in detail, together with insights into how the band went about truly making them their own. This is a meticulously researched celebration of the music of one of the UK's most important bands in the folk rock genre at the most crucial period in its history.
