Maddy Prior – Changing Winds

A beautifully crafted folk collection from Maddy Prior, Changing Winds showcases her distinctive voice at the heart of thoughtful, story-driven songwriting and traditional-influenced arrangements. Best known as the lead vocalist of Steeleye Span, Prior’s solo work here leans into a more intimate and reflective folk style.

The album blends original material with traditional sensibilities, weaving together acoustic textures, narrative lyricism, and subtle arrangements that highlight both emotional depth and wit. Tracks like Canals and The Sovereign Prince demonstrate her ability to balance historical themes with contemporary folk expression, while lighter moments such as Ali Baba and Bloomers add charm and variety.

Rich in storytelling and rooted in the British folk tradition, Changing Winds stands as a strong example of Maddy Prior’s solo artistry - elegant, expressive, and quietly powerful.
