About this album
Rocket Cottage shows Steeleye Span sharpening British folk rock into one of their most spirited mid-1970s albums. Released in 1976, it blends traditional songs and reels with contemporary arrangements, highlighting the band's ability to make old material feel immediate without losing its roots. By this stage Steeleye Span had become one of the key names in electric folk, and the album reflects that balance of musicianship, drive and respect for tradition. Its mix of narrative ballads, dance tunes and band interplay helped confirm the group's lasting role in bringing folk music to a rock audience.
