Our Take

Ah, Steeleye Span, the folk legends that keep on giving! Now We Are Six (50th Anniversary Edition) is a delightful trip down memory lane for fans old and new. This album is like a fine wine, getting better with age and still packing a punch after all these years.

From the opening track "The Mooncoin Jig" to the closing number "Thomas the Rhymer," Steeleye Span prove why they are considered pioneers of the British folk-rock scene. The instrumentation is as tight as ever, with Maddy Prior's ethereal vocals soaring above the mix like a majestic falcon.

The real treat of this anniversary edition is the bonus tracks, where the band truly shines. "Gaudete" is a joyful romp through traditional Christmas carols, while "King Henry" showcases Steeleye Span's storytelling prowess at its finest.

Overall, Now We Are Six (50th Anniversary Edition) is a must-have for any folk music enthusiast. It's a testament to the band's enduring legacy and a reminder of why they have stood the test of time.

So grab a pint of ale, sit back, and let Steeleye Span transport you to a world of wizards, witches, and wonderment. You won't regret it. Cheers to fifty years of musical magic!
