Product Description
Contents: Ann Briggs, the British folk singer who greatly influenced Bert Jansch and Jimmy Page, presents her landmark 1971 debut album! This re-release includes four previously unreleased tracks from newly discovered "lost tapes"! This debut album, bearing Ann Briggs' own name, is widely recognized as a cornerstone of any folk collection. Originally released in 1971 by Topic Records, it includes some of Briggs' signature songs, such as "Blackwater Slide" (featured on Bert Jansch's album *Jack Orion*), which she famously taught him, and "Go Your Way," a song co-written with Jansch. Then, in 2023, "lost tapes" containing four previously unreleased recordings from the album sessions were rediscovered in Topic's archives. This re-release includes those four additional tracks. Ann Briggs never desired commercial success or widespread recognition of her music. However, she was a major influence on the British folk revival, and a source of inspiration for the songs and music of A.L. Lloyd, Bert Jansch, Jimmy Page, Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, and others. A timeless masterpiece that will captivate your heart with her unparalleled beauty, expressiveness, and power in her voice.
