专辑介绍

by Dave Sleger

While they are generally considered a British folk-rock group, the Fairport Convention's influence on the post-'60s Celtic rock movement is noteworthy as well. In 1969, they (along with fiddler Dave Swarbrick) proved that amplifiers, a rock rhythm section, and Irish jigs like &Rackish Paddy& and &Toss the Feathers& are very compatible. Their Celtic leanings were most pronounced during Swarbrick's stint (1969-1979), and young, traditionally-based groups like Ireland's Tamalin and Scotland's Prodigals are acknowledging Fairport's early efforts a generation later. 1997 marked the 30th year of Fairport's existence, and the band began yet another chapter in their continuing saga with a new studio album and a couple of live tracks. Exit multi-instrumentalist Maart Allcock and enter fiddle/mandolin/guitar player and Albion Band alumni Chris Leslie. Not at all apprehensive about their newest member, Leslie's &John Gaudie& leads off the new album -- a midtempo, vintage 1973-type rocker featuring the two violin players and Leslie's dulcet tenor. Lest anyone conclude, upon hearing 1995's acoustic album Old-New-Borrowed-Blue, that Fairport's rockin' days are a thing of the past, a few surprises lie awaiting. Fellow fiddler Sanders composed &Bowman's Retreat& as a &welcome aboard& gesture in which each bowman gets to showcase his considerable talents along with the other members. It is debatable whether Fairport has ever rocked as blatantly as they do on &Spanish Main,& which actually has Nicol and Leslie trading incendiary guitar licks. Likewise, &Dangerous& further explores that aggressive edge rarely visited in recent years. Fairport Convention is better known for their milder renderings of historical accounts and legendary tales. &Here's to Tom Paine,& a Steve Tilston song, is a posthumous salute to that embroiled English writer/American revolutionary. &Golden Glove& is a fairy tale of love and romance in which Leslie supplies some sure-footed mandolin playing. Not to be taken for granted, the rhythm section of Pegg and Mattacks has always been among the most durable and sought after in rock and folk-rock. This album's title asks the obvious question, but given Fairport's dignified and productive aging process, who cares?
