Hmmm, I wonder who the 'Special Guest' the Oysters have got at some festivals this year is :) |

18 Apr 11 - 06:46 PM (#3137758) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: GUEST,Azoic I believe that I can make out the songs "Je T'Aime" and "Whole Lotta Love"?Maybe I am hallucinating? |

30 May 11 - 04:37 AM (#3162477) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: GUEST,Nipper That tracklist is quite something...quite something that isn't real obviously! Maybe we could get it to take on a life of its own though and press them to create a 'bonus' album.... There can never be enough versions of Silver Machine! |
30 May 11 - 06:45 AM (#3162526) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: Dave Sutherland Saw Oysterband on Friday night - they confirmed at the gig that this album would be out in the autumn. No hint of track listings however. |

28 Jul 11 - 03:24 AM (#3197088) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: theleveller As a longtime fan of Oysters and June Tabor I'm really looking forward to this. Oysters were brilliant at Moonbeams Festival - John Jones and Chopper got off the stage and danced in the audience and then after a long and energetic set, John turned up at the late night singaround. Great band - great people. |
28 Jul 11 - 05:09 PM (#3197501) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: GUEST Oysterband have hinted that a track from Ragged Kingdom may appear sometime soon on their widget (go to their home page http://www.oysterband.co.uk/ and scroll down a bit). The widget is designed so that if you want to recommend the band you can share it by email or by posting it on a website, blog, social networking site etc. It's quite a neat device - even better if an RK track turns up on it! |
29 Jul 11 - 03:43 AM (#3197730) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: GUEST,Azoic You may now sample bits of all tracks from the new cd "Ragged Kingdom" at the US version of the web-site named fro the longest of all South American rivers.This release promises to be especially relevant and significant. |
31 Jul 11 - 06:12 PM (#3199328) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: GUEST,Azoic I saw the Oysters and JT sing "Hills of Shiloh" a capella in Seattle circa 1991.Peak experience! |

03 Sep 11 - 05:54 PM (#3217740) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: GUEST,Azoic Yes Lizzie,If there were such a thing as a hit single in the realm of folk-rock then I'd put "Bonny....." at the top of the list.Spontaneous,galloping,visceral and vital!What a great song.This cd is marinated in potential folk stardom.One of the best cds of 2011.Also,check out Martin Simpson's new release "Purpose And Grace".It's another big winner. |
07 Sep 11 - 05:00 AM (#3219397) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: Reinhard I wonder about the origin of "Judas Was a Red-headed Man". The Ragged Kingdom notes say "A Spring carol from Somerset collected by Ruth L. Tongue in 1916". But the British Library entry for this song says that it was collected by Bob Patten from the singing of Ruth Tongue in 1971, and that Ruth Tongue was born in 1898. I don't know anything about Ruth Tongue. Did she collect folk songs in her teenage years? |
07 Sep 11 - 06:34 AM (#3219428) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: Colin Randall Here's another review ... http://www.salutlive.com/2011/09/june-tabor-and-oysterband.html I have to say it grew on me and now has me in its thrall. I do not necessarily agree with Colin Irwin's fRoots suggestion that it is better even than Freedom and Rain but it is, in my view, a mightily good album all the same. |
14 Sep 11 - 01:01 PM (#3223154) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: GUEST,Azoic Maybe "Ragged Kingdom" will be a big folk/rock hit?I really dig seeing this genre rise to a higher profile.Is there a reliable website that accurately tracks sales numbers? |
15 Sep 11 - 09:11 AM (#3223549) Subject: RE: (2011) June Tabor/Oysterband CD coming From: Bonzo3legs Did anyone go to their gig at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London last night? Many did dressed in their best folky outfits, with long grey hair in abundance!! We prefered to see Quimantu in the Purcell Room next door. |
