I'm sure he was a splendid bloke with great politics and influenced a lot of people, changing lives etc. Sorry, but I just never got him - none of his recordings did anything for me in the way many other people's did, like the Beatles, Stones, Leadbelly, Dylan, McColl, Joannie Mitchell, Robert Johnson, King Oliver/Louis Armstrong, Skillet Lickers, New Lost City Ramblers, Tommy Jarrell, Planxty, etc ad infinitum.
His looks and window dressing took him a long way......

Cheers
