Have to say I heard the Tabor track and it reminded me how much I hate (yes, hate) piano for folk music. Fine for blues, fine for jazz. All right for country, if you can tolerate country, and likewise much American contemporary (for example, would be really great on "Miner's Lifeguard"). All right for some other contemporary acoustic. Sounds nothing like folk music. Same goes for Kate Rusby. I admire both Tabor and Rusby, just wish they would not play or use piano. Kath Mundy gets away with it because her (admirable) keyboard work is not folk (and often in voices other than piano).

I quite liked the Martin Simpson guitar pieces with Tabor, but even that sounded a bit meretricious and thin in comparison with (say) Martin Carthy, at least early Carthy. Personally I think current Martin Carthy, although still awesome, is not as fiery as the earlier work.

All credit however to Tabor for interesting traditional material.

Mind you, if I could play even a tenth as well as any of them, would I be sitting here posting about it?
