Ashley Hutchings, Kickin' Up The Sawdust, LP UK EMI Records 1977 - SHSP 4073

This is an album entirely dedicated to traditional ballads. The recordings were made in the Sawmills studios which are hidden in a cove on the River Fowey, the building was once a sawmill (represented in the cover photograph). All the performances are very rigorous, precise in timing, overall it is an album that is still enjoyed listening to today: it was later reissued by BGO on CD.

Questo è un disco dedicato interamente alle ballate tradizionali. Le registrazioni sono state effettuate negli studi Sawmills che si trovano nascosti in un'insenatura sul River Fowey, anticamente lo stabile era una segheria (rappresentata nella fotografia di copertina). Tutte le esecuzioni sono assai rigorose, precise nei tempi, nel complesso è un album che ancora oggi si ascolta volentieri: è stato successivamente ristampato dalla BGO su CD.
