Search - Richard Thompson, John Kirkpatrick, Ashley Hutchings :: Morris on

A-rockin' we shall go

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Not strictly a Richard Thompson album, although he does contribute guitar and some vocals. Morris On was masterminded by bassist Ashley Hutchings shortly after leaving Steeleye Span. Seeking to meld rock and roll with the English country folk tradition, he gathered old chums Thompson, John Kirkpatrick, Barry Dransfield and Dave Mattacks to produce a weird and wonderful concoction of turbocharged folk dances with the unlikely accompaniment of morris bells and sticks. As a precurser of The Albion Band it is a valuable historical document but is also jolly great fun in its own right."
