The writing team of Dave Swarbrick and Richard Thompson in its finest hour.Full House has always had a special place
in the Fairport canon, as it is only one of two outings on vinyl for the classic 1970 Nicol/Mattacks/Pegg/ Swarbrick/Thompson
line-up (the other being the Live at The Troubador album). However, there's always been the sense of the flawed masterpiece
about it, mainly due to the last minute omission of the legendary Richard Thompson, Dave Swarbrick opus, 'Poor Will &
The Jolly Hangman'. Now, thanks to the magic powers of CD remastering, Island have not only restored the missing track and
the original running order, but added both sides of the neglected Dave Swarbrick, Richard Thompson 'Now Be Thankful' single,
plus 'Bonny Bunch of Roses' - a sprawling Napoleonic folk opus that proves that Fairport Convention are truly masters
of the genre.
We can't recommended this album highly enough. simply go out and buy it.

Walk Awhile
Richard Thompson/Dave Swarbrick
Walk awhile, walk awhile, walk awhile with me
The more we walk together, love, the better we'll agree
We'll
agree
One hand in your mouth and your finger in your eye
Undertakers bow their heads as you go walking by
Walk
awhile, walk awhile, walk awhile with me
The more we walk together, love, the better we'll agree
We'll agree
Here
comes another Sunday, ringing on the bell
And here comes your own dear child, another tale to tell
Walk awhile,
walk awhile, walk awhile with me
The more we walk together, love, the better we'll agree
We'll agree
Bring along
the brewer's head, bring the cuckoo tree
Bring your lady mother along to keep us company
Walk awhile, walk awhile,
walk awhile with me
The more we walk together, love, the better we'll agree
We'll agree
Two miles down the road,
Henry Tompkin's wife, and
Three miles down the road, he's running for his life
Walk awhile, walk awhile, walk awhile
with me
The more we walk together, love, the better we'll agree
We'll agree
Oh, walk awhile, walk awhile, walk
awhile with me
The more we walk together, love, the better we'll agree
We'll agree
