No
Roses is an album by Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band. It
was recorded at Sound Techniques, and Air Studios in London, in the
summer of 1971. It was produced by Sandy Roberton and Ashley Hutchings
(Shirley Collins' husband at the time).
It is very unusual to have 27
musicians and singers on an album of traditional folk songs. It
happened because people simply dropped in during recording sessions and
were asked to join in. "The Murder of Maria Marten", a lengthy song
about the Red Barn Murder, is broken into segments, with parts of
British folk rock alternating with more traditional parts featuring
Shirley Collins' voice and a hurdy-gurdy drone. Shirley Collins had used
a similar technique on "One Night As I Lay on My Bed" on "Adieu to Old
England".
Some songs, for instance "Poor Murdered Woman" and "Murder
of Maria Marten", feature large parts of the Fairport Convention line-up
of late 1969 (Liege and Lief). In fact, Fairport Convention member
Ashley Hutchings appears on all, Simon Nicol and Richard Thompson on
eight, and Dave Mattacks on three of the nine songs on this album.
Claudy
Banks includes a composed duo performance by Alan Cave on bassoon and
British free jazz saxophonist Lol Coxhill – his only performance ever in
the context of British folk music. Hal-An-Tow features members of the
two acclaimed folk vocal groups The Watersons (Lal and Mike Waterson)
and The Young Tradition (Royston Wood). Both drummer Roger Powell and
pianist Ian Whiteman previously played together in the band Mighty Baby.
The
album title No Roses are the last words of the first verse of the folk
song "The False Bride" ("I went down to the forest to gather fine
flowers, but the forest won't yield me no roses."), which Shirley
Collins sang on her EP Heroes in Love in 1963.
