| The ECBB brought together well-known musicians from opposite corners of the English folk scene in what was considered an innovative, barrier-demolishing blend, naturally Anglicising blues and old-time country and finding new ways of looking at British traditional songs and tunes. These tracks from their two albums and one single, recorded between 1981 and 1983, feature the core trio of Maggie Holland, Rod Stradling and Ian Anderson, regular members Chris Coe, Sue Harris and John Maxwell, and guests including Nic Jones, John Kirkpatrick, Dave Peabody and Danny Stradling. This compilation includes a brand new track with veteran English folk icon Bob Copper, closing the circle begun two decades earlier. |
