Anne Briggs - Sing a Song for You

Anne Briggs is an outstanding English Traditional/Folk singer. Although she travelled widely in the 1960s and early 1970s, appearing at folk clubs and venues in England, Scotland and Ireland, she never aspired to commercial success or to achieve widespread public acknowledgment of her music. However, she was an influential figure in the English folk music revival, being a source of songs and musical inspiration for others such as A. L. Lloyd, Bert Jansch, Jimmy Page, The Watersons, June Tabor, Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson and Maddy Prior. Sing a Song for You is a British/Celtic Traditional/Folk album released in 1997 by Anne Briggs. It was originally recorded in 1973 but was initially withheld from release as Anne Briggs reportedly wasn't satisfied with her singing on the album
