About this album

All Around My Hat is Steeleye Span’s breakthrough folk-rock album, the record that brought their blend of electric arrangement and traditional material to a much wider audience. Released in 1975, it helped establish the group as one of the key British folk-rock bands of the decade, balancing ceilidh energy, unaccompanied harmonies and sharper rock instrumentation. The title track became their best-known song and a major hit, while the album also draws on enduring ballads such as Black Jack Davy and The Wife of Usher’s Well. It stands as a lively, accessible showcase for the band’s ability to make old songs feel immediate.
