Sing a Song for You is a folk album released in 1997 by Anne Briggs. It was originally recorded in March 1973 but was initially withheld from release as Anne Briggs reportedly wasn't satisfied with her singing on the album.[1]

The album is the only instance of Anne Briggs recording together with a band. The band was Ragged Robin, a short-lived electric folk outfit founded by folk musician and singer-songwriter Steve Ashley. In October 1996 Briggs commented: It was a lot of fun playing with Ragged Robin - the only time in my life I've ever worked with a group - they were tolerant of my inability to know what key I was playing or singing in, or even what chords I was playing [if any]!
