Non-Classical Music Listening Thread!

Well that is a great relief indeed. Had it not been so, you would have deserved a slap across the ear with a wet fish. As it is you have avoided that ignominy 

BTW, to the best of my now fading memory, I believe that we have David Gilmour [Pink Floyd] to thank for this as I think I remember that he gave her the money to finance the album.

Keep that wet fish on the ice for now...
It might come in handy when I eventually get to the Incredible String Band or Fairport Convention

Oh, I have absolutely no expectations there whatsoever, particularly with the Incredible String Band. I have ploughed a lonely field there since the early 1970s. In all those years I have only come across one other person who had an appreciation for them and he too was an acoustic guitarist. 

That is fine with me though. I think they were an exception talent and I still listen to and enjoy them, obviously. You will probably throw that wet fish in my direction when you eventually do hear them. 
Therefore, don't put them high on your list

What's the best album to try ? I remember some mentions of "The Hangman's beautiful daughter" in some magazines...

[Papy Oli]

Ray Lamontagne - Supernova

[Pohjolas Daughter]

+1

As for KB I've always liked this album:

You know, I've never heard that album Jeffrey.  I see that it was released after her long absence from music; all of the recordings which I do own of hers are from the pre-break era.  Think that I have all of them?  Do you have any of those?  And, if so, any favorites?

PD

Indeed, very sad : (     RIP Peter Green

Please forgive the interference but I could not see your videos and I was keen to do so as I was a big fan back in the day of the very talented Peter Green 

He had vanished by the time I had corrected them

Classic Incredibles albums are:

The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion
The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
Wee Tam
The Big Huge
Changing Horses

The albums contain long, rambling autobiographical songs but I like them. I especially like the musicianship. Now that I think about it, perhaps they are just musicians' musicians as they say.
Disclaimer notice: I am an ageing hippy after all 

However, if you really do want to test your mettle, I would recommend that you start with The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion because that contains the only two songs that you might possibly have ever heard of from in their entire discography.

Just read that Peter Green passed away today (beginning of Fleetwood Mac for those of you who might not know).  Sorry to read it.

No interference at all, my laptop struggles with flash I'm afraid. Just to say I agree completely about PG, a very talented musician whose music often seems to have something of the 'Es muss sein' about it.

Cool, thank you.

No such time as the present 



I can smell the patchouli from here...

Cheers. I think that Green not merely understood but lived the Blues. May he Rest In Peace.

I want your honest opinion and remember, I have heard it all before 
Did you recognize any songs? Perhaps you are too young, which is good for you

Erm, very much of its time let's say  Some of the tracks are a bit too "eccentric" for my liking but the side notes mentioned it was one of their most daring albums anyway. The fact it was produced by Joe Boyd and the bass played by Danny Thomson picked my interest though as it is the same combo that worked on some Nick Drake albums. Did enjoy and saved some tracks though: "The first girl I loved", "Little Cloud", "Blues for the muse".

Some of the intricate guitar playing made me think of Bert Jansch at times for some reason.

Will have a listen to the other albums you advised during the week.

Well at least you had the staying power to hear it through. You have my admiration for that even if you are being a bit circumspect. Hence the ageing Hippy reference above

Not a bad analogy there

Do you really have the valuable time to spare?

I am enjoying the journey 

Trying "Hangman's Beautiful Daughter"  As weird as the other one    Some of the singing is a bit painful...is he ok ??   0:)

[Archaic Torso of Apollo]

That's the one album of theirs that I have. I enjoy it, but I have a high tolerance for eccentricity.

PD

Apart from 'Ariel', which is actually a double album I have the Hounds of Love and The Red Shoes. I like all of these ones:

[aligreto]

Simon & Garfunkel: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme





Different herbs

Oh, he is quite fine. He is just out there; somewhat like you he is on a journey........

One would certainly need that, for sure
