Thread Name: how important is the label traditional singer?
Subject: RE: how important is the label traditional singer?
I was trying to say,that I thought it was pecuiliar that Roberts,Who wrote Swell The nets Full and claimed authorship of it,did not claim authorship of OILY RIGS.I am also intrigued why LLOYD passed off songs as traditional.
I have never been convinced that Bob Roberts was a Traditional singer,[just a gut feeling,perhaps it was the fact he was not unaccompanied,all the other[that I can think of] of the english traditional singers have been unaccompanied], if you say he was,your undoubtedly right, although to me it makes no difference, he was a fine singer.
