Looking back on the album, Archie comments that the songs were intended to be very stylised and very chord-orientated and very much built around guitar tunes which were breaking away from the traditional songs and more towards jazz guitar and torch music. Barbara Dickson also feels that with Orfeo, Archie was keen to break new ground. He was defnitely moving forward musically which was the most important thing I think.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Orfeo has been digitally remastered from the original studio master tapes and features detailed CD liner notes on Archie's long career as a traditional music pioneer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chariot Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50393441993035,"sku":"2047572","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5060230869216_ca65a433_thumbnail_4096.webp?v=1726417193"},{"product_id":"archie-fisher","title":"Archie Fisher","description":"\u003cp\u003eArchie Fisher MBE (born October 23, 1939) is a Scottish folk singer and songwriter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e He has released several solo albums since this his first, eponymous album in 1968.
