jazzy_daveI think I am as much as a folkie as well being a hip lover of jazz and soul. Certainly the dulcet tones of Albion’s folk roots is flowing in my veins , and recently invigorated again by the strange time travelling tunes represented by the compilation “Electric Eden” based on the book of the same name by Rob Young.
Such classic tunes by Comus, Meic Stevens, Bill Fay, Sweeney’s Men, The Albion Country Band, Bert Jansch, Pentangle, Fotheringay, Steeleye Span, Trees, COB, etc proves that the folk-rock of the late sixties and seventies cannot be beaten.
Modern exponents of the genre such as the Carthy’s, Alisdair Roberts, and Richard Youngs affirms that this music is alive and kicking. One night down at the Northern Lights I will devote the evening to the genre, perhaps next year.
