Shirley Collins, though almost unknown in the United States, was an
immensely important figure in Britain's early-'60s folk revival and
the golden age of British folk-rock in the late '60s and early '70s.
She is one of British folk's most golden-throated vocalists, and one
of its most eclectic, handling traditional fare, Renaissance music,
and folk-rock. Any discussion of her recordings must also note the
important contributions of her non-singing sister, the late Dorothy
Collins, who was co-billed with Shirley on several albums. Dorothy,
who played keyboards, also devised the arrangements for the albums of
Renaissance-influenced folk that the pair released to high critical
acclaim in the late '60s.
Shirley actually made her first album way back in 1959 for Folkways.
For a time she was a companion of noted folklorist Alan Lomax, whom
she accompanied on trips through the American South that produced some
of the most widely praised field recordings of traditional American
folk music. In 1964, she helped point the way for a more eclectic
approach to British folk music by recording with guitar wizard Davey
Graham on the album Folk Roots, New Routes.
Shirley made her true mark when she teamed with sister Dolly to offer
several albums of medieval-based folk music. The most widely hailed
effort in this direction was 1969's Anthems in Eden, a suite of sorts
combining traditional material and original instrumental interludes.
1970's follow-up, the similar Love, Death & the Lady, was just as
good; both albums, interestingly, appeared on the Harvest label, a
company most noted for its British progressive/underground rock acts.
The affiliation wasn't as unlikely as it might appear, for Shirley had
already helped direct British folk-rock acts such as Pentangle to
traditional folk material. Therefore, it wasn't a total surprise to
find Shirley Collins turn up in bona fide folk-rock groups,
particularly as she had married Ashley Hutchings, a key early member
of both Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span. With Hutchings, she
sang in a couple of the mid-'70s most traditionally oriented British
folk-rock outfits, the Albion Country Band and the Etchingham Steam
Band.
