Description:

Topic Treasures series Deluxe CD issue/ Original album artwork. / Introduction by Anne Briggs / CD Notes from much respected Folk journalist and Anne Briggs authority Ken Hunt. / Rare photographs and track by track notation. A long overdue issue of the classic first album from Anne Briggs on Topic. Widley regarded as a long-lost treasure and recorded in 1971 by Sean Davies and featuring Johnny Moynihan from Sweenyâ??s Men on bouzouki. Famously, Briggs taught Bert Jansch the song â??Blackwater Sideâ??, which he recorded on his classic 1965 debut album; the next year his pivotal traditional album Jack Orion largely comprised songs he learnt from Briggs who helped him understand the structure of folk song. Briggs and Jansch also wrote a handful of songs together. â??Go Your Wayâ?? being one of them - 7"+LP

"Anne Briggs" is a seminal LP by the influential British folk singer Anne Briggs, released on the renowned Topic label. This self-titled album, originally issued in 1971, captures Briggs at her artistic peak with haunting renditions of traditional English and Scottish folk songs. Her pure, unaccompanied voice brings an ethereal quality to tracks like "Blackwater Side," "The Snow It Melts The Soonest," and "Go Your Way." Revered for her minimalist approach and emotional depth, this record has inspired generations of musicians within the folk revival movement. Anne Briggs herself is celebrated as one of Britain?s most important interpreters of traditional music; though she recorded only a handful of albums before withdrawing from public performance, her influence can be heard in artists such as Sandy Denny and June Tabor. Topic Records, established in 1939, stands as one of the oldest independent labels dedicated to preserving and promoting folk music traditions worldwide.
