Catalog #:	FLED 3021CD

Originally released by Topic Records in 1983, now remastered from the original tapes and repackaged for CD reissue, Fledg'ling presents Martin Simpson's Grinning In Your Face. Martin Simpson is justifiably regarded as one of the finest finger-style guitarists to have emerged from the British Isles. Through a series of excellent solo recordings and as a startlingly imaginative accompanist to June Tabor and Jessica Simpson, he has earned a remarkable reputation throughout the world. Grinning In Your Face is one of Simpson's finest and most complete recordings. The album includes stunning versions of Bob Dylan's "Masters Of War," Peter Gabriel's "Biko" and Son House's "Grinning In Your Face." This is an important record from Simpson's back pages, with lots of his trademarked exuberant guitar.
