Subject: RE: Great 70s folk LPs (that I've missed)
Well it wouldn't do for us to be all the same. i prefer the revivalist singers every time.

Prefer the Dubliners to any number of irish trad singers, Christy Moore to John Reilly. Hamish Imlach over Blind lemon Jefferson.

I'd better shut up - I can see that will really annoy you. Still I'm afraid that's how it is. And Joan Baez....well, I know its not authentic - but I love everything about her - the guitar style, the childe ballads, the voice..... and Bob Dylan should have done the decent thing and married her, and set up a great folk singing dynasty.
