Ezeregy dal, amit érdemes meghallgatni: 0322 Anne Briggs: Blackwater Side (1971) Writer: | Traditional Producer: | A. L. Lloyd Label: | Topic Album: | Anne Briggs (1971) Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch maintains that, in the context of the British folk scene, Anne Briggs “was more akin to a punk than to anything that had gone before.” Young, attractive, and wild, Briggs left her Nottingham home in 1962, aged seventeen, to join a touring folk revue, and soon made her name in London’s folk clubs. Her erratic nature and reluctance to record only added to her legend, which continues to grow even today. Briggs released an EP, Hazards of Love, in 1964 and, with singer Frankie Armstrong and folklorist A.L. Lloyd, an album of “traditional erotic songs” two years later. The folk revival was then in full bloom, and Briggs was one of its leading lights. Yet she spent much of the rest of the Sixties rambling drunkenly around England and Ireland, avoiding anything that might have been termed a “career.” Before she disappeared, Briggs’s repertoire had included “Blackwater Side,” a traditional song learned from Lloyd. Jansch learned it from Briggs in the early 1960s, recording it on his Jack Orion album in 1966. Jimmy Page learned it from Jack Orion, retitling it “Black Mountain Side” on Led Zeppelin’s debut in 1969. Briggs recorded this delicate version for her own belated debut in 1971. A second album followed the same year. Blocking the release of an album entitled Sing a Song for You (recorded in 1973, but unreleased until 1996), she’s barely sung in public since. youtu.be/OxOouYO5tY4
