Notes by Tony Rees
“The Albion Country Band” is credited as “Lal Waterson, Mike Waterson,Royston Wood, Francis Baines, Steve Migden, Roger Powell, Richard Thompson,Colin Ross, Alan Lumsden, Maddy Prior, Simon Nicol, Ashley Hutchings,Alan Cave, Lol Coxhill, Dave Bland, Tony Hall, Tim Rewick, Ian Whiteman,Barry Dransfied, Nic Jones, Dave Mattacks, Dolly Collins, Gregg Butler,John Kirkpatrick, and Trevor Crozier'.
Most of the tracks of course only have a subset of the above playing,typically Shirley Collins with 6-8 backing musicians. The principalcontributors are Ashley Hutchings (on eight of the nine tracks),Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol (seven tracks each),Roger Powell (drums on six tracks),and Dave Bland (concertina or hammered dulcimer on six tracks).Lal & Mike Waterson sing onThe White Hare.
Ashley Hutchings had recently left Steeleye Span and teamed up with(and married) Shirley Collins in around 1970/71. In many waysNo Roses follows the trail blazed by Fairport Convention'sLiege and Liefafter Steeleye Span had started to go off in a more rock-folk (as opposedto folk-rock) direction with the departure of Martin Carthy and Hutchings.Of course, Ashley Hutchings, Simon Nicol and Dave Mattacks (all FairportLiege and Liefalumni) also contribute to No Roses. Having said that,the musical palette is much wider and includes contributions by numerousother instrumentalists such as Nic Jones (guitar) and Barry Dransfield(fiddle), Tony Hall (melodeon), Colin Ross (Northumbrian small pipes),Frances Baines (hurdy-gurdy), Dave Bland (concertina and hammered dulcimer),and even Lol Coxhill on alto saxophone.
After the release of No Roses in 1971, there was littlequestion of the band which made it going on tour, although a very few dateswere played by a subset of the lineup (Shirley Collins, Ashley Hutchings,Richard Thompson, John Kirkpatrick and Royston Wood) as a last-minutesubstitute for a short tour by Shirley & Dolly Collins which had beenpreviously booked.
The name “Albion Country Band” was subsequently adopted by Hutchingsfor his next “electric” venture in 1972, which included Royston Wood onvocals, Steve Ashley on vocals, harmonica and whistle, Sue Draheim on fiddle,Ashley Hutchings on bass, and Dave Mattacks on drums. This lineup wasshort-lived and eventually transmuted into the lineup which rehearsed for sixmonths, played a few festivals, recordedBattle of the Fieldin 1973, then broke up again almost immediately. In the meantime, Collinsrecorded some vocals for another of Hutchings' projects,Morris On, in 1972,and resurfaced with Hutchings (this time playing an acoustic bass guitar)in the Etchingham Steam Band in 1974 - along with mouth organist Terry Potterand accordionist Ian Holder. “Etchingham” was after the village in Sussexwhere Collins and Hutchings were living, and “steam” because they wanteda band which could be independent of electricity (as there were quite a lotof power cuts due to the miners' strike in England around the winter of1973-74!) - and also, according to Shirley Collins, quite descriptive,because of the huffing and puffing and pumping required to power the mouthorgan and accordion! (Later in its brief existence, Terry Potter left theband and was replaced by Vic Gammon, and it is this lineup which appears onthe 1975Folk-Festival auf der Lenzburgcompilation).
Sleeve Notes
Shirley's Collins Ms
When this album was first released in 1971, it was regarded as adventurous,combining a traditional English singer with 25 musicians, some from afolk background, other from the fields of contemporary rock and early music.It was an experiment which grew into a triumph, and sprang from the talentsof Shirley Collins and Ashley Hutchings, both pioneers of their own right,in the first year of their marriage. Shirley, widely regarded as thedoyenne of English traditional folk singers, had recorded her first albumin 1959 for the highly respected American Folkways label, and subsequentalbums were regarded as milestones, notablyFolk Roots, New Routesmade in 1964 with guitarist Davy Graham andAnthems in Eden,made with her sister Dolly in 1969 - the first album to unite traditionalsongs with early instruments, under the musical direction of David Monrow.Ashley Hutchings, a founder member of Fairport Convention, had left thatpioneering band at the end of 1969, after recording Fairport's seminalLiege and Lief,and, still hooked on traditional music, had then launched Steeleye Span.
No Roseswas the album they made together, and Shirley still remembers it with pleasure:“It was my first venture into folk/rock and I suppose initially I didn'tthink my voice was right for it. Whatever accompaniments I've used, I'vealways sung in my own style, my natural singing voice, which is an extensionof my speech. So it was the arrangements that overlaid the songs that gavethe record it folk/rock feel. I've always been willing to experimentproviding I believe I can keep the integrity of the music intact. That'sparamount. I have a great love of English traditional music, and along with it a great respect for those people of the labouring classes who keptthe songs going through the centuries as their only means of expressingthemselves. It is an extraordinary feat, especially as many of them wereilliterate. They've never been given enough credit or respect for their art.Instead, they've been scorned, despised and largely ignored. It's one reasonwhy I've always named my sources. I trust thatNo Roseshad that integrity, as well as strength and beauty in some of thearrangements and a great sense of fun and charm in others.”
Looking atNo Roseswith the benefit of hindsight, one presumes that Ashley and Sandy (Roberton, co-producer with Hutchings) were determined to makean epic album. “No, we didn't set out with that intention, but as thealbum progressed, the possibilities of what we could do became more andmore apparent. At the start we didn't anticipate having 26 musicianson it, but that's how it finally turned out. There was never any conflictbetween the Fairport people and the other musicians. They were open-mindedand interested in what others were doing anyway, and there was certainly agood feeling in the studio (Sound Techniques). The place was full of peoplewho kept dropping in and staying on and asking to play on songs -just happy to be there. Nobody seemed baffled by what anyone else was doing,just a bit bemused perhaps by the variety of esoteric instruments that werecoming in and out of the studio.”
“The critical reaction was pretty good - on the whole! One or two snipers,of course.” No Rosesmarked the debut of The Albion Country Band. The Albion Band continuesto be the name used by bands led by Ashley Hutchings, although it was a namecoined for use on this album. “We realised that with all those musiciansit would probably be a good idea to give them a collective name and thatwas the one we came up with.”
So why was there never a second album? “I had two children from my firstmarriage, and we'd all moved to Etchingham in the Sussex countryside.I'd been touring all my singing life, away from home too much, and I wantedto be with Polly and Robert more, so I let my own career slip a bit,for the best of reasons. Ashley had formed a touring bend with the firstof many line-ups and used the Albion name, and all our efforts went intotrying to keep that going. When Ashley and I eventually parted, he tookthe Albion Band with him.No Rosesstayed with me.”

Shirley Collins - legendary folk singer and one of England's most respected song collectors - has announced her return to recording after 38 years. With new album Lodestar, Shirley has created the unlikeliest release of the century so far. Lodestar is a collection of English, American and Cajun songs dating from the 16th Century to the 1950s, recorded at Shirley's home in Lewes by Stephen Thrower and Ossian Brown of Cyclobe and produced and musically directed by Ian Kearey. The first track to be shared from Lodestar is 'Cruel Lincoln'. Shirley explains the history of the song: 'This is an ancient ballad, found only rarely in England. The theory is that Cruel Lincoln was a mason who was not paid for the work he did for 'the Lord of the Manor' and so extracted a terrible revenge'. It also features bird song recorded at the back of Shirley's cottage. Born in Hastings in 1935, Shirley was fascinated by folk songs as she was growing up, songs she heard on the radio or sung by her grandparents in Anderson shelters. She left home for London to immerse herself in the burgeoning folk scene; at a party held by Ewan MacColl she met Alan Lomax, and in 1959 she joined him in the USA on the renowned field trip 'Southern Journey', recording American folk songs and blues, a formative journey for her personally and professionally. On her return to England, Shirley cemented her role at the forefront of the Folk Revival, recording over a dozen albums including the influential Folk Roots, New Routes with avant-garde guitarist Davy Graham, and No Roses, from which The Albion Country Band was formed. However, in the 1980s, Shirley lost her singing voice - later diagnosed as a form of dysphonia - and withdrew from performing live. It was only in 2014, after coaxing from David Tibet (Current 93), that Shirley sang in public for the first time since 1982. Though Shirley Collins (MBE) has been absent from the music scene for many years, her impact has not diminished, the likes of Graham Coxon, Jonny Greenwood, Stewart Lee and Angel Olsen laud her and a documentary The Ballad of Shirley Collins is currently in progress. Additionally, she was given the 'Good Tradition' award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2008, elected President of the English Folk Dance & Song Society in the same year and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Music from Sussex University this year. Shirley released her first memoir, America Over the Water, in 2004 and is currently working on her second book. Now Shirley Collins has sung once more (with a mischievous delight in defeating expectation), the accepted canon of her great recordings will have to be comprehensively recalibrated, yet again. 'Shirley is a time traveller, a conduit for essential human aches, one of the greatest artists who ever lived, and yet utterly humble' Stewart Lee
