Gillian Welch - Revival
NR

Ok, ok so the Coen Brothers introduced me to her. So why should that be such a bad thing?

Po' Girl - Home to you
93

Folksy sound but influences are from all over the place, including jazz and hip-hop. Lots of harmony singing, my brain tells me he likes that.

Graham Parker - Howlin' Wind
100

One of my favorites from my student days. Graham Parker & the Rumour where the first great band I saw in the Paradiso in Amsterdam. A band with a horn section, still a combination that soothes me. You can't undo an impression like that

John Martyn - Solid Air
NR

Be careful with those categories, folks. Here we have a brilliant folk album that does not even try to sound folk.

Michael Chapman - Fully Qualified Survivor
100

Monster of a folk album. One of the surprises of life is that I found this treasure only when I was in my fifties while I was already around when it was first released.

My opinions tend to change through time. A lot.

My brain tells me it likes a feminine voice. "New" and "girlie" are relative terms, I realize that.

Not my cup of tea. The rest of the world seems to think these albums are ok. Although as time progresses, opinions have sometimes changed in my direction
