<p>Shirley Collins is a British folksinger, born on July 5, 1935 in Hastings, East Sussex, United Kingdom. She has made significant contributions to the folk music scene and is known for her captivating vocals and authentic storytelling. In the late 1950s, she collaborated with American musicologist Alan Lomax on his field recordings, further enhancing her knowledge and passion for traditional music. With a career spanning several decades, Shirley Collins continues to be an influential figure in the folk genre.</p>

First released in 1965, "Folk Roots, New Routes" is a remarkably experimental record, uniting Shirley Collins' beautiful singing with Davy Graham's jazz-inflected guitar work. Although the partnership only lasted for this recording and a handful of live shows, it left a powerful legacy in the English folk song revival.<br><br>The album captures the first really great accompanied English folk song and was a template for Fairport Convention's seminal "Liege and Lief". For this carefully remastered edition Fledg'ling have restored all the elements of the original artwork and added several previously unpublished photographs. New sleeve-note essay by Ken Hunt; deluxe slip-cased packaging.
