About this album
Woman In The Wings is a strong solo statement from Maddy Prior, balancing traditional folk feeling with the sharper edges of late-1970s folk rock. Best known as the voice of Steeleye Span, Prior uses this 1978 album to step confidently into her own space as a singer and interpreter, with material that moves between reflective originals and songs rooted in the folk tradition. The title track and pieces such as “Mother And Child” and “Long Shadows” show her clear phrasing and emotional control, while the album’s arrangements give the songs a grounded, band-led lift. It remains an important chapter in her catalogue and in British folk-rock history.
