This 2013 compilation brings together contemporary and traditional folk artists from the UK and beyond. Fairport Convention's presence alone signals serious credentials—they essentially invented electric British folk. The collection balances traditional arrangements with contemporary interpretations, featuring acoustic instruments, field recordings, and raw vocal performances that emphasize authenticity over polish. The mood is contemplative and rooted, connecting listeners to folk traditions spanning centuries. These artists share a commitment to preserving and evolving folk music as a living tradition. An excellent sampler of the modern folk scene for those who appreciate raw beauty and tradition.
