John Barleycorn Reborn

A discovery of folk music from dark Britannica. 'John Barleycorn Reborn'

explores seasonal birth, death and rebirth on this double CD. Our cycle began

at Lammas 2007 (1st August), a day traditionally known for 'the first fruits

of the harvest'. Pre-orders began on this day. All orders also receive a free

complementary thirty-three track download only set of further music. (Available to ALL for free from the week beginning 23rd June 2008).



This compilation explores the darker side of British folk music, evoking the

mystery of our ancient past and peoples, the strangeness of their beliefs, arcane

traditions and the remnants of this carried down the centuries as folklore.

The set has an extended booklet with articles, essays and explorations of the

album's concept.



The album is a collaboration between Cold Spring and Woven Wheat Whispers, a

folk music artist community and legal download service. Curated by Mark Coyle.
