  • Description

    As the father figure and guiding spirit of the English folk revival of the 1960s, Martin Carthy was involved in the formation of at least three major English folk-rock bands: Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and The Albion Band.

    Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Richard Thompson all cite Carthy as a direct influence.

    Despite a solo career spanning several decades, 'The January Man' is the first ever official release of a Martin Carthy live solo album, and is released with Carthy's full approval.

    This towering performance, recorded in FM quality in 1978, shows an artist who was a legend even then and whose brilliance is merely underlined with the passing of time.

    Limited edition digipack includes booklet with extensive liner notes featuring reminiscences from Carthy himself.
