By Gloucester docks I sat down & wept : a love story

"As co-founder of Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and the Albion Band, Ashley Hutchings has long been called "the Guv'nor" of British folk-rock. He is best known for his pioneering work in the 1960s and 70s, but his most adventurous solo album was recorded in 1987, when traditional music was largely out of fashion. The album only had a limited release and has been unavailable for years, but has now been deservedly revived and remastered. It's a concept work, telling the pained story of a doomed love affair from the viewpoint of both partners, making use of spoken word and songs that range from grand, folk-influenced melodies to guitar rock. Hutchings is supported by an impressive cast of folk-rockers".
