Oh my we are gonna get in a pissing contest here. Pete Morton was (lets face it, it's been a few years since he was the Young Turk of the British Acoustic scene) is still one of the best singer songwriters that Britain has ever produced. If you think that he has cobbled together Woody songs then this is obviously not the same Pete Morton and I forgive you, but the thing is he has never written a song that is remotely Woody-like. Guthrie is Guthrie, Morton is Morton. If you listen to the simple power of his songs 'Lucy' and the anger of his earlier stuff like 'Babe of the World' they may have the fire of Woody but he is distinctly british and none of the "simplicity" that Woody you ( who buy the way used to cobble together traditional, other peoples and his own songs and tunes).

Jesus you;ll be ripping the bollocks off of Rory McCleod next!
