Steeleye Span - 1970 - Hark! The Village Wait
Steeleye Span is a British electric folk band, formed in 1969 and remaining active today. Along with Fairport Convention they are amongst the best known acts of the British folk revival, and were among the most commercially successful, thanks to their hit singles "Gaudete" and "All Around My Hat". They had 3 top 40 albums. They achieved a certified "gold" record with sales of "All Around My Hat". Hark! The Village Wait was the 1970 debut album by Steeleye Span. The album is the only one to feature the original lineup of the band, as they broke up and reformed with a slightly altered membership immediately after its release, without having ever performed live. Hence it is one of only two Steeleye Span studio albums to feature two female vocalists (Maddy Prior and Gay Woods), the other being Time (1996). 01 - A Calling On Song 02 - The Blacksmith 03 - Fisherman's Wife 04 - Blackleg Miner 05 - Dark Eyed Sailor 06 - Copshawholme Fair 07 - All Things Are Quite Silent 08 - The Hills Of Greenmore 09 - My Johnny Was A Shoemaker 10 - Lowlands Of Holland 11 - Twa Corbies 12 - One Night As I Lay On My Bed LINK
