Subject: RE: Brian Peters Child Ballad CD
As I look over the Loxley Valley where Rob was of....towards the Robin Hood - where I first went carolling and which has just changed landlords.......
I feel we should listen to Brian's record.
There is great variety in the treatment of the ballads: old timey American; unaccompanied; unashamed folk rock (best bit on the album for me) and a genuinely funny version.
There was a woman's voice singing harmonies that try as I might I could not place.
Well done Brian for keeping the harmonies in the family.
I listen to a lot of records and a lot of new records. One of the best things I have heard for a long time.
