More Info:
Anne Briggs, a free spirit of the '60s, was also one of the most distinctive and influential singers on the folk scene. "If I hadn't heard her," says June Tabor, "I'd have probably done something entirely different." "She was," writes Colin Harper in his accompanying biographical essay, "as the best of the music itself was, sexy, wild, mysterious, otherworldly and vulnerable all at the same time." This CD gathers scattered tracks from rare compilations as well as her eponymous Topic album of 1971.
