Time for more music and videos…
Few younger people can appreciate contemporary folk rock and its subtleties and depths, even though you didn’t need to live through the ’60s in order to appreciate it.
Richard Thompson’s work sits pretty comfortably within folk rock and exemplifies it well. His ouvre is one of the most extensive and easily accessible. I was lucky enough to have been introduced to his remarkable music years ago by one of my partners and I spent years catching up with several decades worth of his music… it’s great to dip back in!
So here’s a selection of some of my favourites… so difficult to choose from a lifetime of magnificent song writing, superb guitar playing and live music. Awesome 😀
And one more about a soldier in Iraq, played with a whole band: Dad’s gonna kill me (embedding disabled on this one)
I’ve also discovered a wonderful channel on YouTube full of fantastic contemporary folk, including June Tabor.. gotta spend more time here!!! 🙂
