Could all those who have contributed to this thread thank Dick Miles for the two examples that he has provided of reviews of folk albums in this thread? I'm sure that we are all glad that we know what we are talking about now having seen these.

However, could we make two requests of him?

The first would be to provide something that is a little more recent than the two that he has provided. The two that were provided were both over 20 years old. It would be good to have something a bit more up-to-date so that we could be given an idea of the current state of the art of reviewing folk albums.

The second would be to provide something that does not smack quite so strongly of self-promotion.
