Thread Name: Is it really Folk?
Subject: RE: Is it really Folk?
Mock Tudor is a reflection of how it is for a young person living out in the London 'burbs, the Metroland ("Walking the Long Miles Home"). There are acute observations on the flotsam and jetsam that pitches up in the city from afar ("Sights and Sounds of London Town") and the adolescent angst of being among it yet alienated ("Dry My Tears and Move On", "Crawl Back Under My Stone").
Yes, it's "suburban folk" of today. And a jolly fine sound too. One of my favourite RT albums.
