GUEST,Alan Whittle	Hugh Laurie - Down By The River (76* d)	RE: Hugh Laurie - Down By The River	18 May 11
'it's not the "real deal". .....' unlike Carthy's impersonation of an 18th century sailor. Why do you think Clapton's song of unrequited love Layla, and his song about his small child dying - has resontated with millions of people worldwide.... Surely its up to the audience to decide on the 'reality of the deal'. And in a democracy - the English traddies would have lost their deposit. You can't help feeling the reason so many English folkies are springing to Hugh's defence is something to do with class solidarity. Let's face it with that 'England can muddle through' voice and a loose leaf folder for the lyrics he couldn't be bothered to learn - he would fit in great with the average singaround.
