Synopsis

Product Description

(2-CD set) The great traditional ballads are storytelling at its dark, urgent best and the greatest exponent of this folk art was Ewan MacColl. Ballads were central to his conception of the folk revival and at the core of his recordings and performances. His commitment showed in his performances, where the story was everything. No one who ever witnessed him performing one of the great ballads live will ever forget it. Ballads - Murder Intrigue Love Discord is a great selection of tracks from 1956 and never before on CD. This beautiful double CD is well over 2 hours long, lovingly re-mastered and packaged in a slipcase with a 64 page booklet with extensive notes and full texts of all the songs.
