The Incredible String Band : Every Album, Every Song Paperback / softback
by Tim Moon
Part of the On Track series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Incredible String Band evoke love and devotion to all those who fall under their spell.
Their world is not ours, but a land of mythical creatures and fey beings.
This book looks at all their recorded output from the first album which saw the turning point from the mix of old time American music and Scottish dance tunes to the first steps in song writing, through albums which still maintain a legendary reputation, 5000 Spirits and Hangman's Beautiful Daughter.
It looks at their increasingly eclectic instrumentation and fantastical song writing.
There is a fresh look at the slightly lesser known albums that followed and the later version of the band that moved steadily towards the rock mainstream before imploding in 1974.
There is also a look at the albums that appeared when the band briefly reformed in the 21st century and a run through the best of the posthumous live albums and compilations of unreleased material. The band went from major success to cult status, and then via mockery in the punk period to finally becoming a highly respected band, whose albums still sell steadily to this day.
This book will follow that journey and examine every stop on the way.
