Good thread idea......


This is a song I fell in love with many years back....

Me too. What was your red-haired girl called?

[robertlouis]

Some dark, sparse Americana from Gillian Welch.

David Rawlings is a magician on that ancient Gibson.

She may not be a red head but I met and fell in love with this lady in Edinburgh a few years back.... and watch her whenever i can. Incredibly sexy Irish girl.

[Prospero]

And here is an acquired taste. I acquired it when i lived in Manchester.... the punk poet supreme.

John Cooper Clarke. I saw him at the london Palladium a couple of nights ago.

[robertlouis]

The opening track from arguably the most seminal folk-rock album of them all, Liege and Lief, with the incomparable Sandy Denny on lead vocal.

[Prospero]

Incomparable? I always compared her to Captain Beefheart. But the comparison was fatuous.

Incomparable? I always compared her to Captain Beefheart. But the comparison was fatuous.

Pah. Here's Sandy again, this time with her musing on the fate of Mary Queen of Scots.

[Prospero]

Meet on The Ledge... one of my favourite Fairport songs.

[robertlouis]

And while I'm on a Fairport roll, here's Richard Thompson with his best known song. How's this for acoustic guitar work? I was about 15 feet from the stage!
