About this product
Ashley has come a long way since his early days of Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span. In fact some 99 albums later. At this point in his distinguished career, Ninety-Nine. Impressions is both a surprise and the most logical album one could expect, being a sequence of poems and prose pieces set to minimal musical accompaniment. Spoken word has been a part of Ashley's work since Steeleye Span, perhaps most notably on Rattlebone and Ploughjack and An Hour with Cecil Sharp, but this is the first album to be centred entirely upon the voice. While a long way from folk rock, what connects it to his most celebrated work from the past half-century or so is it's historical and cultural depth reframed for the immediate present. Album Tracks 1. Prologue/Coming in to Land 2. Contrary As Trees/When My Son Is Grown 3. Guns and Roses 4. Move Over Oscar 5. With One Eye/The Sun Is God/With the Other 6. Four Tattoo Sonnets 7. Man's Nobliest Frailty 8. Half-Saints, Half Rascals 9. Interlude - Earendal 10. The Coast of Nowhere/Copper, Russet and Gold 11. He Riot of Spring 12. Hackney Marshes 13. It Is Not for the Want of Will 14. Ice Cream/The Show Goes on 15. Fleas

![Ashley Hutchings - Paradise & Thorns - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/f9199f49-7a51-4bab-bd0e-220e062502e0.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Two CDs. In 1987 Ashley Hutchings released By Gloucester Docks I Sat Down and Wept, an album that told a very personal love story. It was unusual in that the story was not told from a 'looking back' perspective, Ashley had written the songs, the poems and letters as the story itself was unfolding. Only later did he realise that all those fragments could come together to tell some of the story. But it was an unfinished symphony - there was more to tell and there was no real end as Hutchings was to discover many years later when he finally re-established contact with the heroine of the tale. Paradise and Thorns is all about love and it's consequences. Disc One - 'Gloucester Docks Revisited' - adds more detail to the unfolding relationship Hutchings depicted in the original album and brings into focus other scenes not previously described. Disc Two is Hutchings' personal selection of love songs and stories demonstrating the many faces and types of love and what it means in different contexts. 'And Other Tales of Love' - illustrates the inevitable unfolding path of a love affair.
