Hi all,

I've just started a Spotify collaborative playlist called 'Roots track of week'. The idea is that once a week all the Spotify users on here add one track that they've been particularly enjoying of broadly rootsy/folky/wordly relevance - be it British, American, African, Asian, old, new, acoustic or electic. That way we get to share our favourites and discover new music. I've already got a few people joining me, but at least a few more would really get it going.

The only rule is only to add a track every seven days or more (one poster has already got a bit overzealous but I'll let it pass!). That way we don't get overwhelmed straight away and hopefully the song/tune exchange can run and run.

The link is at:

Just download Spotify if you haven't already and click the link and it should take you there. Find the track you want and drag it over the the playlist title on the left.

Look forward to hearing your recommendations.

Chris
