My partner has just fallen in love with this song ("Killing the Blues"), via Chris Smither, and is learning it. A friend played Roly's version to me only yesterday -I have to admit that I'd rather listen to Chris's version of it ANYday, rather than Roly's own!!! But I guess that's just personal preference stuff ...
Wasn't he a member of "Great Speckled Bird" and "Woodstock Mountains" (and more) ...
Cheers! R-J
