A L Lloyd, was one of the architects of the UK Folk Revival in the 1950s. He was a writer, broadcaster, folk song collector, folklorist, artistic director of Topic Records and mentor to many aspiring folk musicians. He was also a noted performer in his own right. In the early 1950s he set about recording English versions of the great Folk Ballads to be found in Francis J Childs five volume monumental work English & Scottish Popular Ballads. The complete set of recordings is on this double CD collection. It is handsomely packaged with an extended booklet written by Dr Vic Gammon, former Director of the Folk Music Degree course at Newcastle University, which gives a fascinating insight to the ballads and Lloyds singing of them. Despite its seemingly scholarly approach Lloyds obvious enjoyment and the relish with which he sings these songs make it a highly listenable set.DISC 1 1. Scarborough Fair2. The Outlandish Knight3.
