Davy Graham Shirley Collins Folk Roots New Routes
Really enjoying Davy Graham these days, must invest in the new 2cd best of.
The purity of Shirley's singing has always struck me as something of an acquired taste, I like it but I would think others might find it a hurdle. i guess it's the lack of an r'n'r influence or something?
Anyway, very glad I finally got this. Been meaning to for AGES.
Saw a duo (Jonny Kearney and Lucy Farrell) suppporting The Unthanks last night open with a version of "Hares on the Mountain" from that album, one of the highlights of the night for me. Shirley and Davy's version is exquisite.
