GUEST,MargretRoadKnight 1960's Australian Folk Albums (127* d) RE: 1960's Australian Folk Albums 30 Jul 03


Hi Shimbo Darktree (whoever you are - great alias) and thanks for the mention.
Yes, I've got a CD launch/ concert (and 60th birthday celebration!) on Wed 13 August (a public holiday here in Brisbane) at the 280-seater Judith Wright Centre in The Valley, at the baby boomers' civilized hour of 7pm.
[For more info anyone can email me - margretr@ihug.com.au ]
As for the CD contents : 12 tracks were released on LP back in '87, and the 4 bonus songs mean the expanded line-up now includes the late Chicago pianist Little Brother Montgomery, UK guitar hero Bert Jansch, Latin band Papalote, and amazing singers Judy Jacques & Jeannie Lewis, amongst others......
Speaking of great Australian performers from 'those days'.... I particularly cherish my copy of the Extradition album (signed by Shayna Stewart/ Karlin), because my favourite male Oz singer Graham Lowndes guests on Colin Campbell's atmospheric composition "Ice". (I loved it so much it became the title song of my '78 LP, and that version is once again out there on a compilation CD)
Graham Lowndes, BTW, now lives in Fremantle, and despite health problems, is still singing brilliantly, though only sparcely represented on CD - unnamed Band of Angels 2nd lead on ABC Music's "Black Gospel Down Under", and his wonderful 1969 version of Black Jack Gypsy on "The National..35 years of the National Folk Festival"
