SHIRLEY INSPIRED (EARTH RECORDS)
3LP gatefold with download code, limited to 1000. Shirley Collins is one of Britain's most celebrated folk artists.
Known for her role alongside Alan Lomax and the documentation of American Folk music, Shirley has resided in the UK, silently oblivious to the adoration and esteem to which she is held.
Now, as her work garners more acclaim, a host of artists from many different backgrounds and genres have come together to pay thanks to a true icon of music.
