Robert & Iain - Alliance



Here's a really nice late-60s folk duo LP on Metronome from French singer-songwriter Robert Lelièvre (later to lead the Danish band Pan and tragically commit suicide in 1973) and Scottish folksinger Iain Campbell. On this album, Robert contributes a number of moody original songs sung in French, often performed unaccompanied. Iain contributes a wider-ranging but less-striking group of mostly-original material for his vocal performances, including a live-and-let-live hippie anthem, a song commemorating the Aberfan mining disaster, a Hank Williams cover, and some fairly straight-ahead British Isles folk-style material. Highly-recommended listening.
