Reviews
"LIEGE & LIFE saw the Fairports burrow further into the comfort and shade of English folklore to give birth to folk rock.", "A folk-rock landmark, an amalgamation of traditional songs and self-penned ones that sounded just as authentically ancient.", "LIEGE & LIEF set out a template for how rock and British folk could fuse together and become at once mystical and vital...", "...The group's masterpiece....this is one of the monumentally great records of the last 40 years....A focused and thematically coherent work, the whole record steams along at an excited pace...", Included in Q Magazine's Best Folk Albums of All Time - "...the group's most influential hour....it revolutionized the genre....Folk-rock's defining moment.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Rightly considered a folk-rock landmark, Fairport's fourth album contains music too mercurial to be constrained within one genre."
