Where previous recordings displayed the unaccompanied melodies of her voice, this album - originally released by CBS in 1971 - brings additional instrumentation in the form of guitar and bouzouki. The result is that her vocals are not submerged but heightened - the plucked strings providing the perfect foil for her crystalline inflection. 'The Time Has Come' is a mix of Anne's own songs alongside some notable covers (Lal Waterson, Steve Ashley, Stan Ellison, Henry McCulloch). All are graced with the quietly self-assured elegance of Anne's playing, with sounds ranging from the breezy 'Clea Caught A Rabbit' to the terrible beauty of 'Wishing Well' - each song typifying the bouzouki or guitar style. To say that Anne was an accomplished picker is to do her something of an disservice - the intricacy of her finger-work rivals - and more often than not eclipses - any number of her contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Sandman's Song \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Highlodge Hare \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Fire and Wine \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Step Right Up \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Ride, Ride \u003cbr\u003e1.6 The Time Has Come \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Clea Caught A Rabbit \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Tangled Man \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Wishing Well \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Standing On The Shore \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Tidewave \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Everytime \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Fine Horseman\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anne Briggs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41481785638983,"sku":"44961770","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4405986-3327500_4e1b938d-6b06-4d17-8c66-40db823b7712.jpg?v=1739570518","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/briggs-anne-the-time-has-come-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
