Summer Solstice (album)


Summer Solstice is a 1971 album by Maddy Prior and Tim Hart. The album was recorded after the duo had joined Steeleye Span. The songs are mostly pastoral, with subtle understated instrumental accompaniment. It differs from the duo's previous two Folk Songs Of Old England albums in its use of multitracking techniques, as well as additional flourishes of electric instruments on three tracks. The 1991 CD was issued on the Shanachie label.
