Stone Angel

Stone Angel is the self-titled album by the English folk group Stone Angel, released in 1971 on Seashell record. The group hailed from the rural counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, and the album deeply reflects that setting: deeply rooted traditional English folk, but with a psychedelic touch typical of the era.

Simple acoustic arrangements (guitar, dulcimer, female vocals),intimate and pastoral atmospheres, featuring ballads and ancient melodies, a slight ‘acid folk’ vein, similar to bands such as Pentangle or Fairport Convention. A key feature is Barbara Burton’s voice, delicate and almost ethereal, which helps to create a suspended, melancholic sound.
