“This is a carefully compiled anthology of Ewan MacColl's ballad recordings for the British Topic label. That almost says it all. If you're a fan of traditional Anglo-Scottish ballad singing, MacColl's usually a capella renditions are introspective and very moving. The notes are excellent; the re-mastering is very good. Highly recommended.”
“The classic ballads were conceived on an epic scale and they deal in subjects as large and dramatic as themselves. They are mired in gore or tenderly romantic.
Among devotees of the ballad, Ewan MacColl is universally regarded as their finest interpreter.
There recordings were made early in his career and have never appeared before on CD. They include many of his finer and less familiar ballads, and they embrace the entire ballad idiom.”
