Subject: RE: What is 'feral folk music'?
Yeah - right - er - ISB; they haunt me... I love Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, natch, but that was because in my utter ignorance of such matters I bought a reissue in 78 and thought it was new! Certainly sounded fresh enough to my ears. I love Be Glad For the Song Has No Ending and I actually do a version of The Iron Stone - the beachcombers anthem. RW's 2006 ECM album The Iron Stone is his best work for years, but I'm not much in touch these days.
I love Dr Strangely Strange though; 2 years on and Halcyon Days remains an enduring revelation. Seminal Feral Inspiration!
