About This Song
About "Farther Along (Stuart Henry Radio Session 4/2/71)" by Steeleye Span
Steeleye Span's take on 'Farther Along' is less a gospel consolation than a weary, stoic shrug. The Stuart Henry radio session lends it a raw, almost garage-folk immediacy, the vocal trembling with a faith that's more habit than certainty. The fiddle sighs where the lyrics promise deliverance.
