I went out on a nice country walk this afternoon, with the History of The Fairport Convention playing on my MP3 player. It was more or less the perfect music for sitting at the top of a hill over-looking the river and fields and valley. I've not really listened to them properly before, so I spose this is a where next thread, or just general folk-rock discussion thread, I dont really know where i'm going with it. I've got Unhalfbricking downloading, what else should i look for? (not only FC)

you have to get

Liege And Lief and Full House.


Yeah, do this

but avoid all their other albums and buy some Pentangle.


really?

i know Pentangle's reunion has been greeted with excitement, but i had the impression they were regarded as something of a joke, or at least not credible, way back when. am i right? also what should i look for by them?


get..

Richard & Linda Thompson 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight' , don't expect cheer though.


I'd say

get some Sandy Denny solo stuff. If that helps. The North Star Grassman one.


Its's Lief & Liege

Then:
Unhalfbricking
