Also, it has perhaps been remiss of me not to mention here, the work that Aussie singer-songwriter - and Mudcatter! - Daniel Kelly, has put in, researching Colin and his music, and refreshing his songs for a whole new audience.
Catter Sandra in Sydney also linked to him and his resulting recordings, in an above post.
Read of Daniel's Dryden journey here (in 6 parts) : http://www.folklounge.org/tag/colin-dryden/

Cheers, Daniel !!

PS   English folksinger-songwriter, Gerry Hallom, an occasional Mudcat poster and friend of Colin's when he lived Down Under for a few years,
       is known to have collated his recordings of Colin for friends. And it has been rumoured now for many years, that Dave Brannigan (& Derryk Chetwyn?) in Oz, have been about to release a CD (or two?) for sale of Colin's known recordings -
       does anyone have the latest reliable news of this long-awaited project??!!
