Digitally remastered edition of this British Folk cult classic. The Druids were a superb acoustic Folk quintet who started a little too late to achieve the major popularity of outfits like Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention, although very well respected across the country. Formed as a trio in 1969 by ex-pop musician John Adams (vocals, mandolin, bass), and folk singers Keith Hendrick (vocals, guitar, banjo) and Mick Hennessy (vocals, bass), itinerant fiddler Dave Broughton joined them a few months later, and in 1970, they met fifth member Judi Longden, who added her voice to the proceedings. Their repertory consisted of traditional English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish songs arranged for four voices, and their music had a pleasingly archaic feel, not resembling Folk-Rock at all. Burnt Offerings is the first time on CD and deserves to be out there sharing a piece of Folk history that shows the world how it should be done.
