{"product_id":"swaddling-songs","title":"Swaddling Songs","description":"Personnel: David Williams , David E. Williams (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Clodagh Simonds (vocals, piano); Frank Boylan, Alison Williams (vocals).\u003cbr\u003eAudio Remasterer: Paschal Byrne.\u003cbr\u003eLiner Note Authors: Jon Wright; John Reed.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: Tollington Park Studios (12\/1971).\u003cbr\u003eThe lone official Mellow Candle release from their early '70s heyday, SWADDLING SONGS disappeared upon release but eventually became a favorite of rare-record collectors. While classifiable as British Isles folk rock, the Irish quintet embraced a piano-driven prog-folk sound more in common with the Horslips and Comus than more traditional genre stalwarts like Fairport Convention. However, with lyrics about witches, unicorns, and all things druidic--courtesy of singer-lyricists Clodagh Simonds and Alison Williams--there is no mistaking that their hearts were clearly at the Rennaissance Faire. Simonds and Williams intertwine leads and trade thrumming harmonies on stand-outs such as \"The Poet and the Witch,\" \"Sheep Season,\" and album opener, \"Heaven Heath,\" which also features a hypnotic accordion and harpsichord interplay. Despite its lack of commercial viability, SWADDLING SONGS remains a resonant, lost gem of the electric folk era.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46071475503391,"sku":"5013929714427","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/ac56cfcf67eea31bd4091cd74c5e7e52_0080c0b9-4129-442e-9a48-b5a2d78ab3d6.jpg?v=1777909899","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/swaddling-songs","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
