I got that Anne Briggs EP, Hazards of Lov. was captivated by this woman’s voice and what she did with it. Anne Briggs was and still is one of the most enigmatic figures of the ‘60‘s and ‘70s folk scene, perceived by many as a reclusive-genius and as a rebel for shunning commercial success. Her decision to leave the folk scene in the 70’s for a life in Scotland as conservation worker and market trader have if anything increased her mythical status, something she was pretty much unaware of when she was interviewed by The Guardian for the reissue of her 1971 album The Time Has Come. In 1963 Anne made her recording debut on Topic Records when she provided two songs for The Iron Muse, an album that proved to be one of the most influential records of the early British folk revival which featured songs from the mine, mill and factory.
