Comment:
A mix at the request of Steve Mossholder. You asked for a late 60's, early 70's British folk mix, Steve. Well, I cheated a little! Folk music on it's own is interesting but a little limited in it's purest (British) form. So, here I have made a mix containing elements of Folk/Psych (Incredible String Band), Folk/Blues (John Martyn) Folk/Pop (Marianne Faithfull)and lots of traditional British folk (Amazing Blondel, Martin Carthy, Steeleye Span). The musicianship on this mix is truly stunning. These guys really knew how to handle their instruments. Lots of great solo performances to rival the better known "folkies" in the US. This one creeps in to the 80's, with the beautiful "Planxty Davis" by Nic Jones.Feedback:
looking really great
This looks amazing!
Lovely, Gerry. I can see we need to do another trade.
I recognise most of these names, but I don't know the music. Still, it looks like it should be lovely, if that makes sense.
this is really good. how about vashti bunyan for some late-60s british folk? i'm new to aotm, but not mixing...would you like to set up a trade?
Looks great.
Wow. This looks stellar.

Wonderful!
Some nice stuff here (though this isn't necessarily "my beer", as we say in German). Like the Jansch/Renbourn, Pentangle, Fairportm, Martyn & amazing Blondel tracks.
Hmmm, (though this isn't necessarily "my rum" as we say in this household). Still, I'm fascinated by the chance to hear it..., may just have to pull out the 23-year old bottle and have a couple before I spin it... :D
Wow. Many amazing selections to see together, and others I'm super-curious to hear.
Lotsa great picks, Gerry.
Wonderful mix.
Nice stuff. I really like the Fairport/ISB/Pentangle axis.
Fantastic! Stuff I know and lots I don't. More potential trades, eh?
This is wicked - love the John Martyn and Fairport tunes! Quality.
send this to me gerry, i'll send you good vibes.
Wow! I knew that for every 2 bands I've heard of, you'd come up with 8 for this one. Time to pack up my William Blake, a bottle of wine, and this for the countryside. Thanks a million!
nice!
