[Comment: Jansch was her contemporary. Lloyd, a pioneer of modern folk music and a patron of hers, was a source for many of Anne’s songs. It’s not quite right to call her an English folksinger. She grow up in Nottingham, it’s true, but she was an orphan and reckoned at least part of her stock was Irish. She was on her own well before she was 20, and later on travelled with a tinker band in Ireland for several years in the 70’s. Her voice was pure and true and remarkably supple. Perhaps her greatest contribution was to sing the songs of womens’ experience, and this became a a great inspiration for the next generations. She sang from the heart of the tradition, she loved dogs and hunting and their songs, and she had a knack for setting the original heart of each song free.]
Early in 1973 she recorded a third solo album “Sing a Song For You” with instrumental support from “Ragged Robin”, who were a folk-rock band assembled around Steve Ashley.
