So at last you agree,that arevivalist singer[ Maccoll] can share some of the same attributes as a traditional singer.
quote from your last post
[[But all possess the true ballad art in some respect - the way of spinning the story and the poem together, not with the crude drama of the concert singer, but with the subtle nuance and understatement that is fitting to ballad art."
This bit, as far as I'm concerned, certainly can be applied to MacColl's singing.]]
