We offer some final thoughts on how much we loved this album @fecklessmomes @progfrogpod [email protected]

We finish the second half Fairport Convention's 1969 Album Liege and Lief @fecklessmomes @progfrogpod [email protected]

We talk about the music, the myths and the talents behind Fairport Convention's 1969 Album Liege and Lief @fecklessmomes @progfrogpod [email protected]

It began with the recording of a Great Album. But some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for most of the 80s, the Album passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer. The Album came to the creature, Ed, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there it consumed him. And in the gloom of Ed's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. And the Album perceived its time had now come. It abandoned Ed. But something happened then the Album did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creatures imaginable. Two Momes, Omegrine and Nikwise of the Shire.     On  a very special episode, we reckoned we'd welcome back the Feckless Momes, hosts of the epic Talk Tull to Me podcast, to discuss Fairport Convention's perfect album, 1969's Liege and Lief The only thing we didn't reckon on is that it would take 4 hours It was worth all of it @progfrogpod [email protected]
