About This Song

About "General Taylor (BBC Radio 1 In Concert With John Peel)" by Steeleye Span

Steeleye Span's live take on 'General Taylor' is a stately, tragic ballad, delivered with a folk-rock grandeur. The story of a soldier lost at sea is given a solemn, almost martial dignity, the band's harmonies a chorus of mourning and memory.
