At first I thought the search engine was ****ing with me but this 2016 comeback masterpiece apparently has gone without mention on Music Banter. Octogenarian Shirley Collins fills a space carrying the torch for English folk music that positively must be filled. And no one could possibly do it better. Her age, the time in absence (38 years), the needed response to Americana- all of it a perfect storm. An instant unassailable classic.
