Fairport Convention's fourth album, Liege and Lief, is hailed as the blueprint for British folk rock. Reunited after a tragic accident, with Dave Swarbrick joining permanently, the band electrified traditional ballads and jigs with fresh energy. Featuring Sandy Denny’s evocative vocals and Richard Thompson’s masterful guitar, the album remains a milestone—widely imitated but never surpassed.
