Son of Morris On is a British folk rock album released in 1976 under the joint names of Ashley Hutchings, Simon Nicol, John Tams, Phil Pickett, Michael Gregory, Dave Mattacks, Shirley Collins, Martin Carthy, John Watcham, John Rodd, The Albion Morris Men, Ian Cutler, and the Adderbury Village Morris Men.

Like the previous Morris On (1972) and subsequent "Descendant Of" Morris On albums, it features English Morris dance tunes and songs, played with a combination of traditional instruments (concertina, melodeon, fiddle, etc.) and modern ones (electric guitar, bass, drums)...

The cover photo by Peter Vernon mirrors that of the original Morris On album with a photograph of the principal participants (left to right: Michael Gregory, Phil Pickett, Ashley Hutchings, Simon Nicol and John Tams) in morris-associated costumes, but with modern accessories.. - Wikipedia

No Roses is an album by Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band. It was recorded in the summer of 1971..

.."Poor Murdered Woman" and "Murder of Maria Marten", feature large parts of the Fairport Convention line-up of late 1969 ...

Claudy Banks includes a composed duo performance by Alan Cave on bassoon and British free jazz saxophonist Lol Coxhill – his only performance ever in the context of British folk music. Hal-An-Tow features members of the two acclaimed folk vocal groups The Watersons (Lal and Mike Waterson) and The Young Tradition (Royston Wood)...

The album title No Roses are the last words of the first verse of the folk song "The False Bride" ("I went down to the forest to gather fine flowers, but the forest won't yield me no roses.") - Wikipedia

I adore this clip of Fairport Convention playing Reno Nevada in '68 - so much to love about it but maybe my fave bit is how Judy and Ian settle down and let the band wig out (and what a band!) - and the way Judy just saunters back to the mic when they're done. Nothing cooler than that on the whole internet IMO!
