I have him on video singing "Raglan Road", late period, and I do think he was a bit over the top on that particular performance, you know, trying to do justice to the poetry. Around the same time though, he did a great job with "Scorn Not His Simplicity": an amazing song.                                                      

IMO he and Bob Dylan are the two greatest folk(ish) voices of the 20th C. Mikey, you got good taste! I, too, have all the old vinyl, also CD, also Dave Swarbrick's "Teribus"!

Tomorrow I'll post some biog stuff from the book.
