Subject: RE: Help: Harvey Andrews' 'The Soldier'
I think good CD of Harvey's to get first is

"25 years on the road"

It is my favourite because it is just him and the guitar, sometime people add so much to their recordings that the sound is completely different to what attracted you in the first place e.g. the live performance.

Harvey Andrews was the first Folk singer I ever saw/heard when my dad dragged me along to our local Folk Club, I then went back time after time and I still love discovering new artists and new songs whether completely new or hearing old songs the first time.

I was so impressed that the next time I went I wanted to buy some cd's but they were sometimes disappointing when I got them home and they had an orchestra of instruments and backing vocals on them and what I had fallen in love with was the simplicity of live performances, what you see is what you get.

I am afraid my local Folk Club is very stale now but I love going to festivals and finding new artists.
