That trip gave me two things in a way,” says Collins. “That there was strength in the songs and I didn’t want to let them down by singing them limply, as I was rather timid when I started out. You hear those people we recorded like Almeda Riddle, the Arkansas singer, they weren’t timid about their singing, they just sang naturally with a lot of strength. It was fascinating because a lot of the songs in the Ozarks and the Appalachians are from British stock anyway, and what made it lovely was that when they were singing a song or a ballad that I knew from England, I could sing it back to them and they were thrilled as they were listening to a song that had gone to America perhaps three or four hundred years earlier, still being sung at home.

The fact that the Fabs had been chosen to appear in that year’s Royal Command Performance obviously played a part in the decision.

I haven’t had a drink for 25 years if my maths is correct. I haven’t really kept count, but it’s a long time, anyway. You’ve put out a number of fine live albums over the years – do you find that’s where you’re most comfortable, on-stage as opposed to in the studio?
