Heard King Creosote murder the soul out of 'Fine Horeseman' on the mighty Maconie show.
Totally misses the point!

Off on a tangent a bit here, butI find it strange that some things in 'folk' are considered more 'pure' and 'traditional 'than others,and that somehow there is such a thing as a year zero.
I find the bloke and the acoustic guitar the least worthy contender, as I'm sure waye backe in the daye you were more likely to hear these ballads set to instrumentation a million miles from that!

Also, dunno why, but the female voice always evokes something earthier and more elusive for me, the male ok as a backdrop. I sort of like Nic Jones tho. Now I'm ranting, so best shoosh!
