Album Notes As the ultimate British folk and folk-rock imprint of the late '70s, Free Reed kept alive--during punk's peak--the intersection of traditional and contemporary British music pioneered in the late '60s by Fairport Convention. This installment, NO REELS, finds legends of the British folk dancing circuit, the Old Swan Band, delivering 19 classic performances of old-school English country music. Recorded with the musicians--including husband and wife tandem Rod and Danny Stradling (melodeon and vocals), Martin Brinsford (mouth organ), and brother and sister team Fi and Jo Fraser (fiddle and whistle)--spaced around two microphones, the album possesses both dazzling musicianship and a one-take charm. With a name that proudly proclaims what listeners will not find within, NO REELS is a masterpiece of charming rustic English dance music.
