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

Doesn't change my opinion that this song blows worse than a Texas twister. . .

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...

Technique has nothing to do with singing!



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.
