Chris Flegg will soon be catching him up too. I'll think of another later Ben Campbell from Folk on the Moor has a reasonable port folio of originals Even Mike Deavin is worth knowing about, he was prolific in the 90s. Lives in Whetstone. |

19 Jun 11 - 04:50 AM (#3172744) Subject: RE: Who deserves a tribute album? From: Tootler I keep looking at the thread title and puzzling over exactly what is meant by a "tribute album" There are lots of worthy names here which in many cases, I suspect, simply represent individuals' favourite artists. The OP wrote: In your opinion,who deserves a tribute album dedicated to their contribution to music? Which I find delightfully vague. In particular, how would such an album differ from a "best of ..." compilation. I think to earn a tribute, an artist has to go beyond simply being popular but has to have made a significant contribution to music - in Mudcat's case, folk and blues - however you may define that. |

19 Jun 11 - 09:24 AM (#3172830) Subject: RE: Who deserves a tribute album? From: HampsteadDirtFarmer IMO many (but not all) of those involved in tribute albums and concerts to 'stars' have suspect motivations. This occurred to me when I recently saw a YT vid of a tribute concert to Nick Drake and one Lisa Hannigan's quite inappropriate rendering of 'At the Chimes of a City Clock'. |

19 Jun 11 - 12:29 PM (#3172899) Subject: RE: Who deserves a tribute album? From: GUEST,matt milton yeah, I've got to say I've never heard a Nick Drake cover that had any point to it. I feel the same way, I might add, about lots of virtuoso singer-guitarists: Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Dave Evans et al. The guitar playing and the song are part and parcel. Take one out, and you're left with not a lot. ...though I suppose you could sing em a capella... I once had the idea that you could do a great British-folk covers album of X Ray Spex's Germ Free Adolescents. Whenever I listen to it, I'm struck by how modal Poly Styrene's vocal lines are, and for that matter, how modal and crumhorn-like the sax playing is. Sadly of course, it really would be a tribute album now, since the untimely death of Poly. Also, from a cynical marketing point of view, if I were an enterprising label-owner, I would put together a "Folk Tribute To Nick Cave". I can definitely hear Martin Carthy, say, tackling one of the morbid Aussie's murder ballads. |

19 Jun 11 - 01:30 PM (#3172933) Subject: RE: Who deserves a tribute album? From: Elmore I'm not so sure the epithet "star" should be applied to folk singers. I thought that went out in the late sixties. However, Utah Phillips was one of my favorite performers.Two wonderful albums created to honor him were "Singing Through the Hard Times" by a variety of artists, And "Strangers in Another Land" by the sublime Rosalie Sorrels |
