Steeleye Span is an english electric folk group performing traditional and original material. in my opinion they are the best, but go to youtube and check them out if you havent heard them. let the youtube mix play for an hour. you'll want this. this is their first 3 albums released on 2 cds. as i write this review, ebay is telling me i would also like celtic thunder. and i suppose i should also like lord of the dance or the imagined village. if you like those and are ready for real music from real musicians who kick ass live and sound as much like the pogues as they do the chieftains, then this is for you. steeleye span has an great sense of material, bizarre folk tales of legions of angry elves and hungry witches all demanding beer, milk maids with tales of sailors, sailors with tales of war, woe on the road of exile, all the eternal stuff, child ballads and buddy holly,delivered with a mix of modern and traditional instruments, creative arrangements and in a variety of dialects and languages. to me, steeleye's out-put adds up to a solid whole 40 years later in the way a lot of more 'popular' bands don't, and i think time will show that there will be steeleye fans 100 years from now, when celtic thunder has been long forgotten like the worst of glam-metal or broadway shows about lion kings. i have never met a stupid steeleye fan. if you're hep to them, it's a nice set, and their next 5 lps have also been released in a nice package, too. if you don't know them, just give them a listen on utube. it's free, but you'll want to buy this.Read full review
