Ewan MacColl was one of the architects of the folksong revival.
Whether as an interpreter of ancient ballads or as a writer of new songs, he
influenced almost everyone involved in folk music in the 1950s, '60s and '70s.
He brought the same skill and understanding to songs of Britain's industrial
cities, ballads of Scots history and lyrics from the English countryside. His
own compositions, many of which have passed into the common currency of folk
music, are featured both on his own albums and on The Radio-Ballads (see under
TSCD801-808).
