Steeleye Span - Rocket Cottage (1976)

Steeleye Span - Rocket Cottage

 in the mid 70's, Steeleye Span began to make a more natural shift into a more folk-rock based sound and IMHO "Rocket Cottage" is THE watermark album from this "Span"-era to own.
  

  While still containing all the trace folk elements they began to turn up their amplifies to 11 resulting in a different sounding band.   Of course all the trademark Steeleye Span elements are here .....macabre lyrics, powerful harmonies, , innocent sounding vocals and that certain English flare.
