Our Take
Fairport Convention's Babbacome Lee is like a delicate, intricately woven tapestry of folk rock brilliance, infused with a touch of whimsy and a hint of mischief. From the moment the opening track "The Ballad of Babbacombe" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride through the English countryside, complete with tales of shipwrecks, murder, and a mysterious man named John Lee. Sandy Denny's haunting vocals soar over the lush instrumentation, with Richard Thompson's masterful guitar work weaving in and out like a musical thread. Songs like "John Lee" and "Breakfast in Mayfair" showcase the band's impeccable musicianship and knack for storytelling, while tracks like "Cicely" and "Bridge over the River Ash" add a dreamy, ethereal quality to the album. Babbacombe Lee is a true gem in Fairport Convention's discography, capturing the band at the height of their creative powers and pushing the boundaries of folk rock in all the best ways. So grab a pint of ale, put on your best 70s attire, and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Babbacombe Lee. Trust us, you won't regret it.
