I was just reading the credits for "Almost Famous". I was surprised to see Shel credited for "The Cover of The Rolling Stone."

I've tried to find stuff before with little success. Amazon have asongbook, but not sure where the money goes with the band split and all

I knew they were gigging seperately Ian. I'm a Dennis Lecorriere man myself. I think he's got a voice to die for.

Thanks a lot for the link homeless. I can give these a go (there goes the neighbourhood)

Last I heard, * both * lead singers from Dr. Hook were going out leading separate 'Dr. Hook' bands and playing all their old hits.

I saw the guy with the eyepatch and his band... oh, must have been ten years ago now. He was brilliant!

Morpheus is loaded with MP3s... of Shel Silverstein... using... audio... all.

Now Dr. Hook is an interesting - very divergent artest - that jumps through styles like girl's skipping rope.

Naemanson, anything you can pass on with chords? The other links were very helpful for lyrics, but I don't have the ability to work out chords.

I do a few of Shel's songs at coffee houses. They are great and I contend they are as folky as any singer-songwriter stuff.

Thanks everyone, that's helped keep me going.

I hadn't realised Shel had died - very sad.

Roger,

Just type in Shel Silverstein on the Google search engine, there's loads of different site. Sadly Shel died last year, a brilliant talent.

Apologies.

I shouldn't worry about calling them 'folk', mate - think of all the songs Silverstein wrote for Bobby Bare's 'Lillabies, Legends and Lies' album. You could do any single one of them in a folk club... well, not the one with the five-year-old kid singing on it, but all the rest would pass muster!

All the best - Ian B

I have done a number of web searches trying to track down words and chords for some of the great songs written by Shel SIlverstein and recorded by Dr. Hook.

I know I'm pushing my luck a bit to call them folk.

I'm thinking of great songs like "Last Morning", "Staying Song" and "Carry me Carrie".

Any advice gratefully received.

Roger
