Booklynrose best male folk singer? (218* d) RE: best male folk singer? 13 Apr 10


How could you not mention Jack Langstaff, beautiful voice, charming manner, devotion to traditional folksong. He had a magical way of getting everyone to sing. Someone once introduced him by saying, "I'm one of the hundreds of women in love with Jack Langstaff." And most of the women in the room nodded their heads.
   That said, we just heard Martyn Wyndham-Read here in New York, and he was outstanding. I was glad people praised Brian Peters above; he will do a concert for the Folk Music Society of New York on April 30 & a workshop the next day. (info www.folkmusicny.org).
   Gordon Bok does have a good voice, but to my taste a bit overdone - like a bagel with too much cream cheese.
   Of course all this is subjective.
