• Dave Rawlings Machine: A Friend of a Friend | CD review

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 986
  Gillian Welchs musical partner steps into the solo spotlight with a more boisterous version of the "old timey" sound that he and Welch have perfected. Welchs mountain harmonies and co-writing skills are rarely far away, but Rawlingss reedy, Dylanesque voice dominates, and his proteges, Old Crow Medicine Show, lend an ...

• The Hidden Cameras - Origin: Orphan | CD review

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 986
  "Gay church folk music", as singer Joel Gibb has classified it, really doesnt do the sound of his chamber pop collective justice. Though full of the widescreen bombast theyre loved for, album number five is far more than just pomp and silliness: from the sustained note opening of "Ratify The New" and its exhilarating ...

• Steeleye Span: Cogs, Wheels and Lovers | CD review

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 986
  (Park) Steeleye Span may not have the historic appeal of those other great British folk-rock pioneers Fairport Convention, for they cant look back to a legendary lineup involving Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson. But they do still have an impressive history. Back in 1971, they recorded the folk-rock classic Please to ...

• John Devens World Folk Music - A Huge Loss to Music and to Beverly/Morgan Park

  
  . . . With Both Hands — Authority: 137
  John Devens is a guy who always helps other people. That is his shtick. He is also a brilliant musician, Folk/Jazz historian/teacher/ impresario/ band leader and hopelessly constant soft-touch. I played Irish/Bluegrass music with John Devens years ago. He and Rick Farris and Master String Wizard Ed McGrath joined ...

  Leap In The Dark — Authority: 125
  While its well known how popular music has changed throughout the years, its not often that popular music is used to document the changing of the years or figures in history. Popular music is usually considered far too frivolous a thing to deal with the weighty matters of history. History books are always about the ...

• Show of Hands: shipwrecks and human debris

  
  Salut! Live — Authority: 100
  Show of Hands Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed (Hands on Music) From my observations of ardent Show of Hands fans in assorted venues big and small, Id guess that a typical reaction to the appearance of a new album is to look for a fresh anthem or two. There is nothing the large camp following enjoys more than to ...
