WALTER PARDONA Country Life (Topic 12TS392) Vinyl LP 1982
EX = Excellent
Walter Pardon was one of the best singers of traditional folk songs in England yet, outside his family, no one knew of his singing until he was 59 years old. Born in Knapton, near North Walsham in Norfolk, in a cottage where he lived for the rest of his life, Pardon came to national prominence in the folk song world in the early 1970s through a cassette passed by a relative to Peter Bellamy, who immediately recognised that Pardon was a singer of immense ability. He was invited by the distinguished folksong scholar A.L. Lloyd to join a group of English folk singers at the American Bicentennial Celebrations in Washington. Appearances at folk festivals and clubs followed and five albums of Walter Pardon's songs were released, this one for the prestigious Topic label.
