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

Love, Death and the Lady is an album by Shirley and Dolly Collins.

This is a companion-piece to Anthems In Eden (1969), but with a darker tone to it. She attributes the 'melancholy' mood of the album to her own personal loneliness at that time. Many of the instrumentalists of Anthems In Eden are present ('Musica Reservata'), but they contributed sparser accompaniments. The figure of Death appears as a character in the title track. "The Oxford Girl", sung unaccompanied, is about an apparently motiveless murder of a woman by her erstwhile lover. The long instrumental sections which were such a feature of Anthems In Eden, are absent, apart from the start and end of "Plains of Waterloo". The male chorus is present on only one track, "The Bold Fisherman". The thematic unity of the album centres on murder, class conflict and betrayal. "The Outlandish Knight" concerns a serial killer...- Wikipedia

The musical arrangements for these eight pieces included early music instruments, such as viols, recorders, sackbuts and crumhorns.

Side 1 of the original album consists of "A song-story", a suite of folk songs which depict the changes in rural England brought about by the First World War, and the disconnection that this created with folk traditions. Recorded with an ensemble of early music instruments, it was a completely unique approach to recording English folk music.. - Wikipedia

Anthems in Eden by Shirley and Dolly Collins LP cover

The Power of the True Love Knot is an album by Shirley Collins.

The theme of this collection of songs is "the idea of true love as a power outside society's control", as Shirley writes on the liner notes. If the first track sounds slightly like "Eleanor Rigby", this is because Bram Taylor plays cello on both of them. Two other guests are Mike Heron and Robin Williamson from The Incredible String Band. The relationship bore fruit on Shirley's next album. Anthems in Eden (1969) contains "God Dog", a song written by Robin Williamson.

The title of this album comes from the song "Lady Margaret and Sweet William". On this song, Shirley accompanies herself on 5-string dulcimer, adapted to have a banjo neck, an instrument she only ever used on this album... - Wikipedia

In memory of our dearly missed SpaceAce, let’s raise a glass and take a listen to the first album he submitted for this project, number 474 in The List. This one is a collaboration between singer Shirley Collins and guitarist Davy Graham, two musicians who were highly influential in the British folk revival of the 60s, as was the album itself.

Thank you, friend.

The cover art is a photograph of the two musicians, both sitting down against a brown background. Davy Graham is a white man with short brown/reddish hair and a mustache, wearing a black leather jacket and red button up shirt, holding an acoustic guitar as if he is playing it. Shirley Collins is a white woman with short dark blonde hair, wearing a long-sleeved button up dress, her hands folded on her lap.

Today I have mostly been doing a deep-dive into #ShirleyCollins. I think this is probably the most beautiful song ever recorded. This is played at the end of every episode of #BridgetChristie's #TheChange. By the way, my 201 Pocket Piano by #CritterAndGuitari arrives tomorrow. More will come of this.

Latest Review: Archangel Hill is Shirley Collins’s third album since returning to the studio half a decade ago; this album and its two predecessors seem almost to relish their maturity and at 87, she continues to create some of the most exceptional music of her career. #folk #folkmusic #albumreview #shirleycollins https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/05/shirley-collins-archangel-hill-album-review/
