Robin & Barry Dransfield

"Popular to Contrary Belief" 1977

Back in 1976 this was the Dransfields’ first traditional album together for six years, since their now lost Leader/Trailer LPs 'Rout Of The Blues' and 'Lord Of All I Behold'. On this album Robin and Barry brought back the simple, uncomplicated approach to interpreting traditional songs and music that was so lacking in the mid-1970s - and these recordings for Free Reed continue to influence the folk revival and to set the standards for honest and straightforward performance of traditional song. Many rare out-takes and session recordings enhance this long-awaited release.
