Swaddling Songs

2008 digitally remastered edition of this album, originally released in 1972. Featuring female vocalists Clodagh Simonds and Alison Williams, Mellow Candle never achieved the commercial success they deserved but they did release this legendary Psychedelic Folk-Rock album akin to Fairport Convention and Fotheringay. Touring to support Thin Lizzy (Simonds played on Lizzy's album Shades of a Blue Orphanage) and Horslips, the band had a short lived existence. Clodagh Simonds later went on to play with Mike Oldfield and Jade Warrior and this release serves as evidence of the talents of both Simonds and the band who deserved far more commercial success than they attained. Now rightly regarded as a classic of the genre, Esoteric.
