Great songs stand the test of time. This does certainly! |

Ah, the first wave of Nu-folk. This lot and Steeleye Span really brought folk to a new audience and breathed life into it, rescuing it from the middle-aged fluffy-jumper hand-over-the-ear beardie brigade. The Nu-nu-folk wave currently at its peak (Mumford & Sons, Decemberists, et al) have a lot to live up to, and I'm not sure that they do. I suspect they'll not have the staying power of Fairport Convention.

I weigh in with "Yes, that's why we're here". Sniping at other people's honest comments isn't particularly helpful. The song is fine, I suppose. I thought that it was interesting (if a little embarrassing) when it made the playlist. Unfortunately, since I listen to RP at least 12 hours/day-7 days/week I hear this one far too often. It stands out like a cherry tomato in a bowl of ice cream. There's nothing wrong with it, but... |

Amen to that. To AphidA: If you do have the technique you claim to then you should know something about the notion boober refers to. I think it's called variously 'soul', 'charisma', 'attitude', things of that sort. All of them equate to having something of interest to offer as an artist. There are plenty of uninteresting techinicians out there. |

Long live Sandy Denny and FC - never got their due it seemed to me. Love this song - a 9 for me.

I wish RP could be at least easy on the ears. When you hears something like this, log off time.

I have thought of them as the Jefferson Airplane of Britain; her voice soared over those guys!! playing their electrified folk but also blues in their early days they were experimental (they've gone through many stages beware) and everyone is singing at the same time in a distinctive voice. |

I think this song pre-dates that one by a few years. It sounds like a pretty traditional chord progression anyhow.
Um, they play traditional music electrified on this, so, yeah, yer probably right. |
