 (1 Customer Review)
By 1973 a full-time group, The Albion Band was originally the name given to the musicians assembled by Ashley Hutchings for Shirley Collins' 1971 album NO ROSES. It boasted folk mainstay Martin Carthy and acknowledged master of the accordion John Kirkpatrick in its ranks, with further colouring added by oboist Sue Harris. However, the line-up proved short-lived and this, their sole album, was shelved for three years, being issued by Island only once Hutchings had moved on to another label and unveiled the ambitious 12-piece Albion Dance Band.
BATTLE OF THE FIELD was the first flowering of Hutchings' vision of an electric ensemble devoted to traditional English music, and featured additional original songs in the same vein, such as Richard Thompson's mighty "Albion Sunrise" and "New St. George." The combination of strong material and fine musicianship set a high standard for subsequent permutations of the Albion Band to equal.
Recorded at Sound Techniques, London, England in 1973.
Albion Country Band: Simon Nicol (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, electric dulcimer, synthesizer); Martin Carthy (vocals, acoustic guitar); Sue Harris (vocals, oboe, hammer dulcimer); John Kirkpatrick (vocals, accordion, concertina, melodeon, electric piano); Ashley Hutchings (vocals, bass); Roger Sallow (drums, percussion).

Battle Of The Field album
 $9.65 
In late 1999, the Dutch label KonKurrent invited Minneapolis band Low into an in-house studio to record one of the label's near-legendary In the Fishtank sessions; bands have two days to record between 20-30 minutes of all new material of their choosing. Also touring at the time were Low's pals, the Australian instrumental dynamos the Dirty Three. Low invited them in, and in the same collaborative spirit as another In the Fishtank session involving Tortoise and the Ex, this half-hour session is the document. What is truly amazing about ...
| | Harold Mabern Few Miles From Memphis CD (1968)
Battle Of The Field CD music
$14.15
On A Few Miles from Memphis, recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968, he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat for Bea" and fun originals like "Walkin' Back." There's also the odd inclusion of "There's a Kind of Hush," a pop song that comes out sounding like an old standard here. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.
When record labels like Prestige release two albums on one CD, it's a great bargain for music fans. A Few Miles from Memphis ...
