Tudor Lodge biography
A typical folk rock group of the late 60's and early 70's, this singing guitar trio is made of Lyndon Green, John Stannard and Ann Steuart who adds some piano and flute. As their name suggests, they do use a few references of ancient music here and there, but overall we have the average folk rock music sprinkled with hippy idealism and much pastoral ambiances, and just enough virtuosity to arise the proghead's interest. Somewhat in between Trader Horne (which they are often confused with), Fairport Convention and Amazing Blondel, they recorded just one album that was released on the famous Vertigo label (the Swirl era and a 6360 cat #) and its astoundingly beautiful fold-out artwork (with a waffled cardboard) makes a highly priced rarity. Fortunately for investigating progheads, this album has received a few vinyls and Cd re-issues, some duplicating the artwork.
Yet another folk-rock group from the early 70's which made a superb album, actually released on the famous Vertigo "swirl" label with a stunning fold-out artwork, which under its original and mint state will fetch almost a four figure price. Actually I can only tell you that unless you plan to frame the artwork and hang it on your wall, this price is really overdone, especially now that this has been released under three (four with the vinyl re-issues) different forms: a Repertoire release in the early 90's, a rather expensive Japanese mini-Lp release (but the fabrication is outstanding) and again another Repertoire release but this time in a mini-Lp format (not as outstanding but at half the price of the Japan version). If I must give you an advice (should you choose to investigate this beautiful and pastoral folk rock), I would encourage you to take the third choice.
However, enjoyable this group might be, it is of a limited interest for the proghead looking for intricate music. Despite its historic Tudor-allusion in its name, one cannot say that the music is much different than Fairport Convention or Amazing Blondel, do not look at ancient music influences here, although here and there, there are hints of it. Often compared (and sometimes mixed-up with) Trader Horne, the music does bear resemblance also to Fotheringay,
Full of hippy ideals, this singing guitar trio (Ann Steuart also plays piano and flute) gets some help from other horn musicians and a string section and most of all, the participation of giant double-bass master Danny Thompson (of Pentangle, John Martyn and Tim Buckley fame) even if he stays more discreet (not mixed loud enough) on this album than in others. The music stays completely acoustic (except for the odd electric guitar on one superb track - The Lady Is Changing Home), and sometimes also instrumental (Madeline) displaying a certain kind of virtuosity that every proghead will love.
If you have enjoyed the afore-mentioned groups in this review, no doubt you will appreciate this record and therefore only the tough choice I presented you with in the first paragraph, but even then I help you out, you lucky SOB ;-) Run for it!!!!
