Editorial Reviews
1995 Park Records. Some forty years from her emergence on the late sixties folk club circuit, Maddy Prior is one of the most enduring, influential and respected artists in British music. Born in Blackpool and, raised in St Albans, Maddy first came to prominence as a duo with singer/ guitarist Tim Hart, building a reputation around the folk clubs and releasing two albums. As the 70s dawned, they joined forces with Ashley Hutchings (of Fairport Convention) and Gay & Terry Woods, with the idea of fusing folk song with rock instrumentation and technique. The new group took its name from a traditional Lincolnshire ballad 'Horkstow Grange' - the tale of a character called Steeleye Span.

Solid solo material,

This review is from: Memento: The Best of Maddy Prior (Audio CD)
There's good music here on this collection of pre 1995 solo material from Maddy Prior. It is probabaly just a notch below her Steeleye Span material but it's still good stuff.
The sound on this CD is very good and the running time is generous so fans of her work with Steeleye Span will probably want to own this also.

Think Empire, not the ribald Maddy of merrie olde England,
By
This review is from: Memento: The Best of Maddy Prior (Audio CD)
Softer, grander, sweeter, more Empire, less May Pole than my favorites by her. This CD reminds me that Prior glories in England's glory; it plays up the Empire end of this glory. The Prior I prefer plays up the Childe ballads and ribald songs of merrie olde Englande. Not Maddy's best in my book, but still good. Evokes Judy Collins in her better days, other high-quality folk-pop fems. Stand-outs: tr 6-Commit the crime (pop, female anthem; quintessential Prior, at her peak); tr 10-Face to face (pop, female anthem; quintessential Prior, at her peak); tr 14-The sovereign prince (takes glory of Empire over the top); tr 18-Allellujah (simple grace) [67:15]
