The third and final album from this duo from England.
Tim Hart did the dulcimer, guitars, harmonium, tabor and male vocals here. Maddy Prior did the vocals.
They had help from a handful of guests who did drums, percussion, mandolin and bass.
Maddy Prior and Tim Hart was members of the folk group Steeleye Span. Tim Hart was the founding member of this band. He sadly passed away in 2009 after a long career.
Maddy Prior is however mostly known as the much used vocalist in Mike Olfield's many projects and albums. She is still active on many other projects too.
Summer Solstice is a pastoral folk music album. It is dominated by Maddy Prior's excellent vocals. Tim Hart's dulcimer is the most notable and good instrument used here.
The songs are decent enough and this is an obvious album for those into vocals based pastoral folk music. There are even some acid folk on this album.
It is a decent album, indeed.
