Description
Progressive Rock was a revolutionary music genre that emphasized flashy musicianship and wild experimentation. In the wake of the psychedelic 60s, Prog Rock would scale the heights of commercial and critical success. Its star burned brightly, but only five years later it was in terminal decline, destined to be lost to the sands of time. Join your host Ian Prise and his guests each week as we trace the rise and fall of Prog Rock, album by album.

Ep. 42: Fairport Convention - Background: Getting Folked
2025/03/19
It began with the recording of a Great Album. But some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for most of the 80s, the Album passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer. The Album came to the creature, Ed, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there it consumed him. And in the gloom of Ed's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. And the Album perceived its time had now come. It abandoned Ed. But something happened then the Album did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creatures imaginable. Two Momes, Omegrine and Nikwise of the Shire.
On a very special episode, we reckoned we'd welcome back the Feckless Momes, hosts of the epic Talk Tull to Me podcast, to discuss Fairport Convention's perfect album, 1969's Liege and Lief
The only thing we didn't reckon on is that it would take 4 hours
It was worth all of it
