England's Oysterband, born from a Kent ceilidh dance band, became a pivotal force in '80s-'90s U.K. roots music by merging punk, alt-rock, and folk. Known for hits like "Freedom and Rain" with June Tabor, they've garnered BBC Folk Awards and acclaim for albums like Step Outside and Ragged Kingdom. Frequent collaborators, they remain influential in the world music scene.
