Albion Country Band/Shirley Collins: Shirley Collins (vocals); Barry Dransfield (vocals, fiddle); Maddy Prior (vocals); Simon Nicol, Tim Renwick (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Richard Thompson (acoustic 12-string guitar, electric guitar); Dave Bland (hammer dulcimer, concertina); Francis Baines (hurdy-gurdy); Lol Coxhill (alto saxophone); Ian Whiteman, Dolly Collins (piano); Ashley Hutchings (bass guitar); Dave Mattacks, Roger Powell (drums). This album's significance rivals that of Dylan's plugging in at Newport. Shirley Collins joins the electrified Albion Country Band, which featured members of Fairport Convention, including Richard Thompson and Ashley Hutchings. This is a startling confluence of forms, as the full rock sound meets Shirley's enchanting balladry. Touching on love and loss, murder and rebirth, these songs are sometimes harrowing yet immensely satisfying in their delivery. "Murder of Maria Marten" illustrates that point as deep textures coalesce making for a driving, almost Celtic rock sound. "The Little Gypsy Girl" drifts about in a smoky haze. NO ROSES is another bit of proof that Collins is one of the finest interpreters of English ballad and song, and going electric does nothing but enhance her artistry.

商品の紹介

Uncut (p.141) - 5 stars out of 5 - "Collins is fearless, singing louder than ever required of her, but pitch perfect and drawing out every ounce of drama and emotion." Mojo (Publisher) (p.130) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Full of shivery moments."

Shirley Collins' collaboration with the Albion Country Band for No Roses is considered a major event in the history of British folk and British folk-rock. For it was the first time that Collins, roundly acknowledged as one of the best British traditional folk singers, sang with electric accompaniment, and indeed one of the first times that a British traditional folk musician had "gone electric" in the wake of Dave Swarbrick joining Fairport Convention and Martin Carthy joining Steeleye Span. The album itself doesn't sound too radical, however. At times it sounds something like Fairport Convention with Shirley Collins on lead vocals, which is unsurprising given the presence of Ashley Hutchings on all cuts but one, and Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol on most of the selections (Dave Mattacks plays drums on a few tracks for good measure). The nine songs are almost wholly traditional tunes with Collins' arrangements, with perhaps a jauntier and folkier mood than that heard in early-'70s Fairport, though not much. It's more impressive for Collins' always tasteful smoky vocals than for the imagination of the material, which consolidates the sound of the more traditional wing of early-'70s British folk-rock. ~ Richie Unterberger

THIRD EARの店主が定期的にホームペイジに載せている仕入れ作品紹介は知るひとぞ知る名評で、とりわけ特設ペイジを設けて熱心に解説しているのが英国トラッドの歌姫といわれるシャーリー。しかし、多くの場合自分と一致するその意見も彼女の場合は......はっきりいって歌い方が平板で乾いた声はくぐもりがち、どこがいいのか皆目判らなかったし、いまも判らない。
