An introduction to Anne Briggs

"An Introduction To Anne Briggs isn't definitive, and it isn't meant to be. Unfortunately, nothing from The Time Has Come, her 1971 album for CBS which included some of her finest songwriting, could be included. And with a back catalogue that is so consistently strong there are always going to be omissions that seem unfair (personal favourites like Willy O' Winsbury, Thorneymoor Woods and coquettish miniature The Whirly Whorl might have made it on to my own `Best Of'), but overall the compilers have done a very good job indeed. It's no great stretch to say that Anne Briggs is our greatest folk singer, and if this new release brings her incomparable talent to a wider audience, then it will be the least she deserves".
