This special release revisits his iconic 1965 debut album, featuring newly recorded arrangements of its classic tracks, reimagined with the wisdom and experience of six decades in folk music - and a couple of very special guests.
Fans can expect fresh interpretations of beloved songs like Scarborough Fair and High Germany, infused with Carthy’s ever-evolving artistry while staying true to the deep tradition he has championed throughout his life.
This album not only honours his roots but also reaffirms his enduring influence on the folk genre, offering both longtime listeners and new audiences a chance to rediscover the timeless magic of his music.
