Shirley Collins, one of the most revered figures in British folk music, delivers Archangel Hill as her ninth studio album and third release on the Domino label. The album opens with "Fare Thee Well My Dearest Dear," a song that Collins first recorded back in 1976, lending the record a deeply personal sense of continuity across her legendary career. Rooted in traditional folk, the album draws on timeless themes and the kind of unadorned, honest storytelling that has defined Collins' singular voice for decades.
Archangel Hill is a carefully crafted collection that showcases Collins' enduring connection to the folk tradition, featuring songs ranging from the tender to the playful, including "Hares on the Mountain" and "The Golden Glove." This vinyl pressing comes with a fold-out insert, and its runouts are hand-etched — a thoughtful finishing touch that reflects the care put into the release as a whole. For fans of traditional folk and admirers of Collins' remarkable legacy, this album is a meaningful addition to any collection.
