Currently listening to Clive Carroll "Furthest Tree." The disc is hard to find but he can be heard streaming. Clive carries Renbourn's torch; he is that good.

The Steven Wilson remaster/remix of 'The Yes Album'.

Stunning.

For the last several weeks, I keep going to Richard Shindell. If you enjoy the acoustic sound of a good ole J45 or D18, you will love his playing. Hit style is dead on, flawless and simply brilliant. His voice is a perfect addition to his impressive picking. Check out his “home made” unplugged videos on YouTube like his "Fenario" here. A great example of a DADGAD tune.

Saw "Bohemian Rhapsody" with my sons two weeks ago. Really enjoyed the movie. Of course the content was adapted for Hollywood, but the band members were fine with the changes. Watched their Live Aid Concert this am. Mercury was such an amazing talent, and the connection between the band and their fans is so positive and moving.

Wilco: A.M.
1995/ 2017 double vinyl reissue

Richard Manuel’s “Tears of Rage” is quoted in the liner notes, and the music fits the folk rock tradition - for some reason the lame modern rock radio stations in my area in the 1990s didn’t play this band. Now I’m catching up. Great stuff.

Jethro Tull, with kitchen prose, gutter rhymes, and divers Songs From the Wood. 1977



This was album one of JT's folk rock period and my copy is the remastered version, which is far easier on the ears than the original CD release. Recorded at Morgan Studios, Willesden, northwest London.

Wilco is one of my favorites (and enjoyed Uncle Tupelo, which preceded them). They are amazing live, and since adding Nels Cline on lead guitar, they've become a powerhouse with Jeff Tweedy's amazing songwriting.

Thanks for the tip Bob, I was able to find this one and Heavy Horses (1978) both 40th anniversary editions on vinyl in shop. Needless to say, the 1970s is a gold mine of good music. After donating hundreds of CDs away from the past due to paper thin transparent audio quality, vinyl is the only way to go, has “depth” to it but it’s not inexpensive these days.
