Traditional music is uncommon and unapproachable for many people.
But when it's combined with the modern day sounds of rock and roll, it automatically becomes easier to digest for our 21st century minds. England's Steeleye Span have been pushing this change in tradition for over thirty years-combining the beauty of traditional folk music with the power of rock and roll. The Village Wait, Steeleye eventually reached mainstream success with two hit singles in the 1970's. But Steeleye's modern approach to folk music opened the doors for many people-introducing them to a world they never knew existed. With powerful murder ballads, rocked out reels, gorgeous harmony, and blistering arrangements, Steeleye Span is still doing what they have always done-making something old, new.
