Summary: Just get the album!
Comment: Folk-rock or whatever that matrix of Fairport Convention, Fotheringay musicians produced may be called is new to me. I recently heard Sandy Denny for the first time on WMBR Cambridge and have been obsessed ever since.
If you have any interest in folk music nothing more need be said than get this album. It has exceeded all my expectations. Why have I not heard of them till now!!??

Summary: Looking to "round out" your musical experience?
Comment: If you're new to the genre of Traditional English folk-rock, this may sound a bit cheesy and dated. Fairport Convention, as well as Steel-Eye Span; attempted to up-date classic English and Irish folk songs with mixed results. You have to give them a lot of credit for researching these old songs and making them accessible to a modern audience. I'd like to see this get re-made minus the twangy electric guitars.

Summary: Headphone Joy
Comment: This CD and all the other Fairport Convention CD's purchased recently should be on the "Before I die" list of listening pleasure. I don't know how or why I missed out of this group when I was younger.

Summary: I like it a lot
Comment: Liege and Lief is a very nice album. The vocal melodies, while simplistic and repeat a bunch of times, are interesting enough to keep my attention, and interesting enough to tell a good story. The female singer is really good. Some of the arrangements are really good as well. They can let loose and jam out with the best of them.
Fairport Convention sound like they were big fans of Bob Dylan's style of songwriting at the time- sing more or less the same melody over and over while changing the lyrics each time in order to build a story for the lyrically-minded people. An album worth owning.

Summary: Still wonderful listening after all these years!!!
Comment: Liege and Lief continues to be my all time favourite album of all time!! The album came out in my senior year and since then I've worn out albums, 8 tracks and cassettes!
