I am listening to a couple of Mudcatters. There are five fine albums by Seamus Kennedy, doing a lot of traditional Irish songs and other songs, which tell good stories. Spotless singing all the way through.
There is Reggie Miles bluesy and witty "Freshly Picked". Some fine, uncluttered playing too.
George Papavgeris's brilliant "Ordinary Heroes" is never likely to be far away from the CD player either over the coming months. "Empty Handed" is one of the greatest songs of our age and "Memories" is not a lot worse.
Who needs record shops?
