I own Woman in the Wings (which I love), The Best of Steeleye Span (I like most of the tracks) and A Stack of Steeleye Span (I didn't like hardly anything). Can anyone recommend the Steeleye albums that are cut from a similar cloth as Songs From the Wood?

Can anyone recommend the Steeleye albums that are cut from a similar cloth as Songs From the Wood? I have the "Rogues" vinyl and it is a bit more like Fairport to me. It was the album they were touring in support of in 73 when they opened for.......Tull of all bands!

I would say Commoner's Crown, Now We Are Six (produced by Ian at around the same time as SFTW) and Hark, the Village Wait, which is their debut, are the three that come closest. All of their albums up to 1977 are very good, except that I do not like All Around My Hat very much. Jeff

I saw Steeleye Span recently on 20th December 2011 (and previously a few year ago... and in February 1978!) They played the whole of the Now We Are Six album. Some other bands should consider playing whole albums.... I have put up a picture from the recent gig on my Flickr account which someone else can upload here. www.flickr.com/photos/77477268@N00/(the link wont work so cut and paste) PS: After the gig I was looking at the merch stall and a female voice asked if they could get passed, squeezing both my shoulders. It was Maddy

Just to add a separate thought:
Totally obscure trivia:
If you check my other posts about the background to TAAB, you will see stuff about Blackpool Grammar School where Ian attended. Later, in the 1970s, BGS merged with Collegiate School for girls. Maddy was a pupil there long before the merge. So their paths didnt cross at school but nearly did!

Peter Knight is an amazing violin player, worthy of very high praises. Wish they toured in the US more nowadays--would love to see them.

No I can't deny you.

I own Woman in the Wings (which I love), The Best of Steeleye Span (I like most of the tracks) and A Stack of Steeleye Span (I didn't like hardly anything). Can anyone recommend the Steeleye albums that are cut from a similar cloth as Songs From the Wood? As a fairly ardent 40 year fan of Steeleye Span I do feel compelled to offer a response. As with much I care about I do have a tendency to ramble, edit as u please, I won't. Firstly got a chance to ask Maddy somewhere in the mid nineties what it had been like to work with Ian all those years ago and her exact response was "That man knows exactly what he wants" Early on I would surely recommend Please To See The King and Below The Salt, which, in terms of production value, may bare some slight resemblance to SFTW. To my thinking the entire Steeleye catlalogue does, as they sort of live there, its not a place they stopped off at in the 70's. But I do believe I know what you are driving at and the 2 Steeleye records that bare the most resemblance to SFTW is the one Ian produced, Now We Are Six, and its follow up, Rocket cottage. Before I prattle on further, 2 choice offerings, the first, from Please To See The King...Lovely on the Water. From Below The Salt, Saucy Sailor From Parcel of Rogues a ribald little Highland tale called Cam Yae O'er Frae France Off of Storm Force Ten, an uneven record but one which boasts a few of their finer tracks, and this 79 return to the ranks of Brit folk legend Martin Carthy, an original member. This one concerns the legendary Trafalgar naval battle, and Lord Admiral Nelson. And this lovely chorale I guess Awake Awake And a thouroughly menacing and very ancient tale, Twa Corbies. Had intended to use the version off the relatively recent Time, but the earliest of early versions, still with Gay Woods in the band as well as Maddy, off Hark! The Village Wait. The next thing I hear from metal or death metal that is as menacing, or menacing at all, will be the first. And the band in such fine form not so long ago with a track from Now We Are Six, Drink Down The Moon The 2 records Maddy Prior has recorded with June Tabor under the title Silly Sisters comes highly recommended as well, as does such of Maddy's solo output of that I am aware. One example from the 89 Silly Sisters outing, No More To The Dance seen here, the Agincourt Carol
