Anne Briggs - The Time Has Come LP NEW
Anne Briggs - The Time Has Come
NEW. SEALED.
Earth Recordings
Offering some of her first original compositions, âThe Time Has Comeâ was a break from tradition in more ways than one for Anne Briggs. Where previous recordings displayed the unaccompanied melodies of her voice, this album - originally released by CBS in 1971 - brings additional instrumentation in the form of guitar and bouzouki. The result is that her vocals are not submerged but heightened - the plucked strings providing the perfect foil for her crystalline inflection. âThe Time Has Comeâ is a mix of Anneâs own songs alongside some notable covers (Lal Waterson, Steve Ashley, Stan Ellison, Henry McCulloch). All are graced with the quietly self-assured elegance of Anneâs playing, with sounds ranging from the breezy âClea Caught A Rabbitâ to the terrible beauty of âWishing Wellâ - each song typifying the bouzouki or guitar style. To say that Anne was an accomplished picker is to do her something of an disservice - the intricacy of her finger-work rivals - and more often than not eclipses - any number of her contemporaries.
