Haven't heard them before..cheers for the links. I'm afraid Fairport still schools them, though:



("Now Be Thankful" live in 1970. This is honestly one of those "holy songs" for me. Nice grainy boc-esque footage for you folks, too.)

Nice...I'll have to check these guys out more. A lot of the magic in these old tracks is rooted in my childhood though, so there's no way newly-discovered tracks could have the same impact. But thanks for the recommendation...I'm always up for listening to something new.

If we're going down this route though, it's impossible not to mention not to mention "Deja Vu" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. A bit more mainsteam perhaps, but an absolutely classic album nonetheless.

It's only folk rock-ish, but Magnet is rather good. The whole album "On Your Side" is mighty enjoyable.

This Is The Kit - Two Wooden Spoons



Awesome song...

I highly recommend a compilation of folk songs titled Folk Off! http://www.myspace.com/folkoffcomp

You can buy it on Amazon, and all the other web-stores.
