Artist:   Steeleye Span

Title:  All Around My Hat

Date:  1975

Label:  Chrysalis Records   CHR 1091

Notes:  Always mentioned as one of their better records, I think it stands the test of time and sounds just as good today as in '75 when it was released. The harmonies, melodies and general tone of the session is the Span relaxed and comfortable. And you just can't argue with the cover art. This one is a British pressing, but I don't think there are any differences between this and the stateside product.

Line Up:

Maddy Prior: vocals
Tim Hart: dulcimer, guitar, vocals
Bob Johnson: guitar, vocals
Rick Kemp: bass, vocals
Peter Knight: violin, keyboards, vocals
Nigel Pegrum: flute, drums
