I remain excited and think myself lucky. But Relentless is of a style and clearly does not have the range of material that appeared on those records listed by Peter.

Perhaps it is not possible to get far from the country dance tunes with out loosing the baby and the bath water. I think they have created high quality music that is sufficiently different to put them alongside the first folk rockers. Some early Fairport was good but not very innovative. God , I love Steeleye, especialy Storm Force Ten, but they found limits to innovation pretty quickly. The Albions seem to have had the same kind of problem.

Innovation isn't everything but it can be exciting. I bought The Old Hat Dance Band and really enjoyed it but........ some how the Whapps make you think again. We will have to see what the Whapps can sustain.
