Time Has Come

Anne Briggs's celebrated 1969 debut consisted entirely of traditional British folk songs, but on 1971's THE TIME HAS COME, the U.K. folk legend began writing her own material. Still rooted in the sound and sensibility of traditional British folk, the 13 songs on THE TIME HAS COME are performed with minimal acoustic guitar instead of her debut's a cappella sound. Highlights include the title track, which Briggs had previously given to the Pentangle for one of their early albums, and the haunting "Fire and Wine." This Water Records reissue features no bonus tracks, but has been carefully remastered.
