Fairport Convention
Immergiti nella narrazione unica del concept album “Babbacombe” Lee, un’opera straordinaria dei
Fairport Convention. Pubblicato nel 1971, questo disco è una pietra miliare del folk rock
britannico, raccontando la vera storia di John “Babbacombe” Lee, il “condannato che non poteva
essere giustiziato”.
Ogni traccia è parte di un racconto senza interruzioni, una vera innovazione per l’epoca, con
la voce evocativa di Dave Swarbrick e gli arrangiamenti magistrali della band. L’album è ricco
di melodie tradizionali e influenze moderne, che catturano l’essenza del folklore inglese.
Un pezzo imperdibile per gli appassionati di folk rock e per i collezionisti di vinili d’epoca.

A John’s Reflection On His Boyhood, His Introduction To Miss Keyes And The Glen, His Restlessness, And His Struggles With His Family, Finally Successful, To Join The Navy. This Was The Happiest Period In His Life. All Looked Set Fair For A Career Until He Was Stricken With Sickness And Invalided Out Of His Chosen Niche In Life. Reluctantly And Unhappily He Turned To A Number Of Menial Occupations And Finally Returned To The Services Of Miss Keyes. Tragedy Now Strikes Hard. The World’s Imagination Is Caught By The Brutal Senselessness Of The Apparent Criminal Who Slays His Kind Old Mistress.
B John Was Hardly More Than A Bewildered Observer At His Own Trial, Not Being Allowed To Say More Than A Few Words. The Tides Of Fate Wash Him To The Condemned Cell Where He Waits Three Sad Weeks For His Last Night On Earth. When It Comes, He Cannot Sleep, But When He Does, A Strange, Prophetic Dream Comes To Him, And Helps Him To Bear The Strain Of His Next Day’s Ordeal As Scaffold And Its Crew Try In Vain Three Times To Take His Life.
