Anne Briggs - The Time Has Come

[clikityclak]

Beautiful, chilling voice.. feels like a frozen piece of metal being placed on your back

In re to DROTTOHARRIS

I could not agree more. I first heard the Pentangle Sweet Child Album on local Portland Radio about 1973- I ran to the large local record store to buy that entire double vinyl. I still have it, ironically just bought the newer CD version with much more bonus tracks. No sooner to find that Bert Jansch passed on last week just after I saw him perform last year here and had him autograph my Sweet Child album. His performance had the crowd in tears. Thanks to Anne Briggs!

 Lovely

[CastletoKarma]

30FLOOR (poster below) I agree with you great stuff this!

[CastletoKarma]

I agree with bohsgerry, English folk music great, always a fan.

[viking1au]

Sounds like Bert Jansch on Guitar. All told, it is great. Seems to be where Pentangle got it.

[FENNYMAN]

I hope she sang to her children.

Anne Briggs - Don't know much about you other than you have the voice and soul of an angel, your eyes could melt any anger, and your way with a song is unique and priceless. Being the father of beautiful daughters who sing and play, I am gifted with the chance now and again to hear the voices of angels sing in my house. And then I can listen to you through time and the changes, still clear and lovely. Thank you lady. "Beauty is Truth, Truth - Beauty." - John Keats

Memories from decades ago. I recall Anne's work with John Renbourn. Brilliant!

Thanks Anne.

[bohsgerry]

as an irish person let me admit english folk music is totally undersubscribed and under appreciated.some great tunes.

[30FLOOR]

I am sitting listening to this on a smallholding in Wales. I can see our sheep in the orchard and pigs in the sty eating windfall apples. The 60s certainly calmed down a bit I suppose but all this stuff is still going on. Anne Briggs has given me a soundtrack that sounds contemporary as well as traditional. It's good to look back but remember we can still have it now.

perfect

[U2Bvideos2]

so sweet. it transports.

[darkstarrr75]

beautiful, stunning, thanks for posting

[fistofonan]

I found this track because of new book by Rob Young: "Electric Eden - Unearthing Britain's Visionary music". Worth a read - and definitely worth every penny to me, if only because I found my way here, to these songs. Any advice on buying Anne Briggs on CD?

[wornpick1]

I thought I knew the scene, but she is new to me! Lovely natural vocal. What happened for/to her?

[aenoch75]

@wornpick1 hi i love the stuff anne has done, i heard she lives in rural scotland living a happy life in the highlands

[almayim]

@aenoch75 yes, i believe she's a market gardener

[caferive]

Don't worry folks, what goes around comes around and good music always wins through....this is a lovely tune by the way Yeh...!!!!!

[brianl890]

We have all lost touch with what matters.

[assdickass]

Holy jesus. Sends chills down my spine. Increadible. I wish I could go back in time and shag Anne Briggs. :)

[maybole1599]

Everything she ever did is magnificent. There aren't many people you can say that about.

[wlgrdn3]

Wow- I'm also embarrassed to have only now discovered her. Amazing.

[ProducerEffects]

Thank goodness for youtube!

[CARNFORTH]

Thank you a mllion times. This is so good.

[Rightslip]

I am floored I have not heard her before. I feel rather embarrassed about it; like I just discovered Dylan. Anyways, she is an artist who's voice ensures we are "asking the questions" in our life about everything or else we are sentenced to a Matrix-like existence and not reflecting. She's a keeper.

[aenoch75]

this is so good i want to cry, beautiful

[brianl890]

To hell with modern celebrity culture.  Time to get back to what matters.

[Persephonie22]

@brianl890 Amen to that! I miss folk music so much.=)~

[brianl890]

She is a shaman goddess.

[brianl890]

Simply stunning and unforgettable.

[wikedwhich1]

I like what is written above..ie dogeatdog etc...it is just magic stuff and flies in the face of our'celebritee culture' and all its trimmings...wots all that about but image anyway!

[DROTTOHARRIS]

I'm reading a Zeppelin book and got here by accident I study finger picking acoustic blues folk country3 comments what the fuck I don't wanna be negative but Britney Spears and Paris Hilton should die... 3 comments 747 views god..! what is up with modern music and youth.

[oplbgtfdesv654bvtgrf]

Indeed, well said

[assdickass]

@DROTTOHARRIS HAH! Been saying that for years! Well I'm not the only one then! I'm not crazy!

[assdickass]

@DROTTOHARRIS Another note: This album is almost 4 decades old. You think we'll be listening to the Jonas Brothers record 4 decades from now? Hell no! Good music is timeless.

[DROTTOHARRIS]

@assdickass I cant get it I'll try again I dont believe in filesharing

[clean3]

@DROTTOHA Then again it's actually quite a nice feeling to feel smug in the knowlege that you know something all these prolls don't know about; kind of like a secret society....terrible I know, but I'm being candid.

[darkstarrr75]

@clean3 im sitting here x factor is on the tv and beauty and perfection in my ears listening to anne, the gulf between the two is staggering.

[DROTTOHARRIS]

@darkstarrr75 So true

[DROTTOHARRIS]

@clean3 Haha smug in the knowledge and all that ! nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat and all that ,know what you mean yeah! Sent this to my freinds on Facebook a few Celtic/ Aussie girls from school.

[rugshort]

@DROTTOHARRIS Sounds like Zep's THAT'S THE WAY.

[EricCirca6566]

@rugshort  I was thinking the same thing! I would say that Jimmy definately heard the song.

[jaddajn1]

@DROTTOHARRIS please don't speak like that about brave britney and much used paris. they are very sad M K ULTRA sex slaves and deserve our sympathy. look rather to the paternalistic and big brother culture we have lived in for decades which actively encouraged pornography for men's 'gratification' and then spits on the sex objects in the mainstream media. double standards anyone?

[DROTTOHARRIS]

@jaddajn1 you've made me feel shameful i will listen to britney with an open pair of boxer shorts , sorry i mean ears...what exactly is is MK Ultra sex slave btw ?

[jaddajn1]

@DROTTOHARRIS so you 'listen to britney with an open pair of boxer shorts' and at the same time think she 'should die'? time you googled 'the vigilant citizen'

[DROTTOHARRIS]

@jaddajn1 Time you googled sarcasm.... when I first saw this it had 40 hits talent-less turds like Britney and Paris have millions of hits , my point is basically how does crap get popular? I posted this on face book as I know a lot of Celtic and British blooded Aussies , it's now at 20 odd thousand , I 'd like to think I helped as c , most people on this You Tube page would agree about mass produced crap , buy a tool box mate

[dogeatdog69]

Jesus Christ. How good is this?

It's an absolute tragedy this has only been viewed 500 times.

I will probably treble that number alone, now that I have found this.

Outstanding and truly perfect.

[DROTTOHARRIS]

wise words

[aenoch75]

@dogeatdog69 hi just to say i totaly agree with ur comments on anne,s music.

[viking1au]

Nice. Sounds like Bert on guitar.
