Thread Name: What did you do in the war, Ewan?
Subject: RE: Folklore: What did you do in the war, Ewan?
I can't help agreeing with Sweeney on that one - I said in my review of Journeyman for The Times (which some of you I know have read & if anyone else would like a copy just PM me yr steam-mail address & I will gladly send you one), that I wouldn't give a dime-a-dozen for his political songs - though I think his original songs of men-at-work [Schooldays Over, Champn at Keeping 'Em, Shoals, The Fight Game...] are in a class of their own for contemp folksongs, way ahead of practically all others [tho - a slight drift - I think Peter Bellamy's Farewell To The Land the best of the lot of them].
