steve in ottawa Why aren't the Corries taken seriously (95* d) RE: Why aren't the Corries taken seriously 10 Apr 04

Until recently, thought the Cories were a one-album wonder around '80. Westerin' Home. Only time I've heard it. 'S great. Gotta dig up that vinyl.

But in North America, as Dick Gaughan says, the ex-Scots try to live as far apart from each other as they possibly can. There's no huge market for all things Scottish here. And that, I guess, is why hardly anyone's heard of the Cories. 'Course, they were probably more succesful than Dick Gaughan, who is great in concert, but of whom I heard more than one person say: he's supposed to be good? but he spends so much time talking and I can't understand him!

I wonder: why are people so proud that they don't enjoy what others find pleasant? No Clancy Brothers for me, thank you, and yes, I toss and turn all night if a pea is placed under my mattress. Goofs.
