It is a testament to Steeleye Span's dedication to keeping to their original Renaissance Faire sound that I was shocked The Elf Knight came from so late in their career, I mean the eighties, maybe, but the nineties?
Well, I guess the polished, sweeping orchestration which is a little too Lord of the Dance is a slight give away. That aside, or I really love this song. It's about a Elf Knight who is evil and keeps murdering fair maidens. Intrigued, aren't you?
But what do you think?
