12 Jul 11 - 05:51 PM (#3186295) Subject: Could you recommend a good CD? From: GUEST,Cd Buyer I'm going to buy a gift to a person who loves happy folk (but can't stand sad or slow songs) and sometimes folk-rock (such stuff as The Heart of a song, by Fairport Convention, a song I know he likes). I would like to buy one with many tracks on. Any ideas? Thanks |

Not a bad idea for a compilation though it would take a lot of researching and would exclude most of the irish and scottish stuff, welsh I can't comment on as Dowy sings in welsh and explained one of his song titles as "My dog is waiting at the pub door for me to go home but I am not leaving til I am drunk" The Welch language must cram in a lot of words into one, my kind of language,short ballads!(I wonder if he was a happy drunk, would it qualify?) |

From: GUEST,Amber Now if any wants to buy ME a CD I DO like long and rather gloomy ballads...I don't feel as though as have had good evening at Folk Club unless I've heard one or two of these. Too many funny or happy songs tend to depress me. Weird, isn't it? |
