I see Jim is doing a few UK dates starting next week ( I've got my ticket! ).
I wonder how influential Jim's mid-sixties Fontana ( Vanguard US ) release was in the UK?
Certainly, I used to do a few numbers off that album, and I mate of mine (from the 60s) is still doing them!
I was reading Richard Thompson's biography recently and it mentions that an Ashley Hutchings' band in the mid 60s was performing "Washington at Valley Forge". A tune I presume he got from Jim's recording
