Performer Notes
  • Personnel includes: Martin Carthy, Dave Swarbrick.
  • Includes liner notes by Martin Carthy.
  • Personnel: Martin Carthy (vocals, guitar); Dave Swarbrick (violin).
  • Liner Note Author: Martin Carthy.
  • Arrangers: Dave Swarbrick; Swarbrick; Martin Carthy.
  • This record stands in British music history and Carthy's career roughly where Another Side of Bob Dylan does in American music--the more florrid tracks here, recorded with violinist Dave Swarbrick, show the path to the bridge between Carthy's traditional singer/scholar background and the folk-rock played by bands such as Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span. "Lord Franklin" is a narrative tour-de-force (from which Bob Dylan got the melody for "Bob Dylan's Dream" on Freewheelin' ), "Ramblin' Sailor" is boisterous cautionary tale about the company the title character keeps ashore, and there's also an acoustic recording of "Sailor's Life," a song that Fairport Convention would transmute into an epic electric version, and "Lowlands of Holland," which Steeleye Span later recorded. ~ Bruce Eder
