Ed McCurdy – When Dalliance Was in Flower and Maidens Lost Their Heads
Elektra Records — Cat. No. EKL-110 — ca. mid-1950s
A delightful rarity from the early Elektra catalogue — ribald Elizabethan and Renaissance ballads sung with warmth and wit by the beloved Canadian folk singer Ed McCurdy. Pull this from the sleeve and you’re transported to a candlelit tavern, mead in hand. The medieval illuminated manuscript cover art by W.S. Harvey is itself a collector’s piece. Adding further intrigue: the recorder is played by a young Alan Arkin — yes, the Academy Award-winning actor — long before Hollywood came calling.
