One of the things that always strikes me as a little absurd is that, in today's musical climate, an album like 'Love, Death & the Lady', by Shirley & Dolly Collins, were released today, it would probably be considered to be on the fringes. Or even, say, Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger's 'Two Way Trip'. (To name two albums I happen to have been listening to a fair bit of late.) I don't think either of them would have made a Radio 2 playlist.
