ANNE BRIGGS - ANNE BRIGGS (180g LP)

Anne Briggs Anne Briggs On 180g Vinyl LP

Anne Briggs' 1971 self-titled release was the first full length album from the legendary folk singer. She was a huge influence on the entire British folk-rock movement, especially on other female singers such as Sandy Denny, Jacqui McShee and Maddy Prior. This album features a strong collection of traditional folk songs and original material and it remains one of the most important releases of the British folk revival. Despite the fact that Briggs had been on the folk scene since the early '60s, this album wasn't released until 1971 due to Briggs' erratic behavior and studio fears and she would record only two more records before dropping off the scene entirely. Thankfully we have this, her first and strongest record, reissued here on 180g Vinyl LP with the original artwork.
