About this album
Now We Are Six finds Steeleye Span sharpening their British folk-rock formula with greater confidence and variety. Released in 1974, the album balances traditional material with more playful, unexpectedly wide-ranging choices, from the title track and Thomas The Rhymer to a spirited reading of To Know Him Is To Love Him. By this point the band were among the most distinctive voices in the UK folk-rock movement, blending electric drive, group harmonies and a clear respect for folk source material. The result is one of their most approachable albums, and a key release in the band’s mid-1970s run.
