LIEGE & LIEF

A flawless masterpiece! On Liege & Lief finally let all American influences behind them and concentrated on British folk instead. It would be their finest moment. The leading role is for Sandy Denny's lovely voice. Although a talented songwriter, she only contributed one the opening track for this album. But combined with Richard Thompson's songwriting her voice gives us some pure magic in the form of Farewell, Farewell and Crazy Man Michael, which are only two of the highlights of this album. A solid five stars for one of the best albums in the genre, if not in history.
