Present: Very Best Of
'Present' is an album where Steeleye revisit their greatest moments. With 33 years at the forefront of British folk-rock, there's no shortage of classics to choose from, & the selection has been chosen by the people who know best - the fans - in an online poll. While Steeleye's two mainstream hit singles are inevitably present, (the folk-pop of 'All Around My Hat', & the sublime acapella Christmas hit 'Gaudete'), the album serves as a reminder of the range & influence of their music, from the epic folk-rock of tracks such as 'Thomas The Rhymer' & 'King Henry' to the intensity of 'Lyke Wake Dirge'. Recorded shortly before setting out on an eagerly-anticipated 2002 reunion tour of the UK. 17 tracks. Park Records.
