One of the most famous and influential records of the British folk revival,
The Iron Muse gathered songs from mine, mill and factory in a powerfully
evocative musical document of the Industrial Revolution and its aftermath.
Songs by Louis Killen, Anne Briggs, Ray Fisher and others are interspersed
with tunes by the Celebrated Working Man's Band, led by Colin Ross (fiddle).
The original album has been extended with songs by Ewan MacColl, Peggy
Seeger, Dick Gaughan and other Topic artists.
