It’s hard to imagine a band having a better year than Fairport Convention did in 1969. After adding singer Sandy Denny to their lineup, the band released three albums in the year…What We Did On Our Holidays, Unhalfbricking, and Liege & Lief. By the time of this album, Fairport had left behind covers of Bob Dylan songs and were playing their own take on traditional songs, as well as writing music along those lines. The result is the most interesting and outstanding album of their long career. Unlike other albums, all of the lead vocals were handled by Denny, with the impressive but short lived core lineup that would be in flux even as the album was being released…and continues to change at a rapid pace even to this day. But this lineup, together for such a short time, made some of the most incredible folk rock music ever heard. The album is simply breathtaking.

The highlights are the exceptional “Matty Groves” and “Tam Lin”, but there is really not a weak moment on this album. Denny’s voice is beautiful, the guitar work of Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol is perfect, and the fiddle work of Dave Swarbrick is the icing on the cake. Liege & Lief is a perfect yet underrated album by a band that at this point in their career was as good as absolutely anyone…this is a must have for anyone. Denny and bassist Ashley Hutchings left the band as this was being released, while Thompson and Nicol (who would later return) would be gone within two years. While Liege & Lief lacked any hits, and gets zero radio play, it’s been in print since its release, and still sounds as stunning as it did when it first came out. The blueprint for every piece of folk-rock that has happened since…a perfect and amazing album.
