Our Take

Steeleye Span's Now We Are Six (50th Anniversary Edition) bursts onto the scene like a pint of warm ale on a cold winter's night. The clear vinyl release adds an air of sophistication to this already classic album, making it a must-have for any folk music aficionado.

From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Maddy Prior to the energetic fiddle solos, this album has everything you could want from a folk rock record. The band's chemistry is undeniable, with each member bringing their own unique flavour to the mix.

Tracks like "Thomas the Rhymer" and "Seven Hundred Elves" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend traditional folk melodies with rock instrumentation, creating a sound that is both timeless and modern.

But it's not all sunshine and daisies - the album does have its flaws. Some tracks feel a bit repetitive, and at times the production can sound a bit muddy. But these minor issues are easily overlooked when you consider the sheer talent and passion that went into making this record.

Overall, Steeleye Span's Now We Are Six (50th Anniversary Edition) is a delightful listen that will transport you to a magical world of knights, faeries, and folk music. It may not be perfect, but it's damn close. So grab a tankard of mead, put on your best pair of breeches, and give this album a spin. You won't be disappointed. Cheers!
