GUEST,spleen cringe 'Traditional' folk/rock - meaningless? (84* d) RE: 'Traditional' folk/rock - meaningless? 18 Sep 14


I will give you that I'm more of a tunes than a songs man, BH. I like a decent lyric as much as the next person. But I'm perfectly happy with the human voice as just another instrument. And you've got to admit that too much diction (to paraphrase Television) is horrible unless it's overdone for effect Syd Barret style. I stand corrected about the 'vocals high in the mix' issue, but I would add that when people claimed not to be able to hear the words on your Blackleg Miner on the thread I've avoided posting to, my intial thought was 'does it really friggin' matter?' It's folk rock... and your stuff often has a rawer edge than the standard issue version, which should always be encouraged!

I'd love to hear more stuff like this: Flying Saucer Attack - Sally Free and Easy - If Cyril Tawney's songs are really folk of course!
