About this album

Rise Up Like the Sun is a landmark in British folk-rock, finding The Albion Band balancing traditional song, acoustic detail and restless ensemble playing with real conviction. Released in 1978, it brought together the group’s deep roots in English folk with a broader rock sensibility, helping define the genre’s late-1970s direction. The album’s mix of older ballads, revived folk songs and more contemporary arrangements gives it breadth without losing its rooted character. With performances that are both muscular and finely tuned, it remains one of the band’s most important statements and a key record for listeners tracing the modern British folk revival.
