Product note

Includes liner notes by Martin Carthy & Ian Campbell.
Martin Carthy's 1964 debut isn't quite the self-assured masterpiece that slightly older British folk guitarists were knocking out around then--think of Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Davy Graham--but it shows exactly why Carthy went on to become, through his work with Steeleye Span, the Watersons, and seemingly dozens of other folkies, possibly the single most influential figure in British folk in the last half of the 20th Century.
Accompanied only by fiddler Dave Swarbrick--who would get equal billing on Carthy's next few records--Carthy reels off a program of traditional ballads and tunes, plus one Ewan MacColl cover for form's sake. It's slightly disconcerting to hear just how young Carthy sounds on this album. At barely 24, he didn't have the weathered, craggy tone he'd soon cultivate, but MARTIN CARTHY is a debut that delivers on its enormous promise.
