With. The album with the same title. I only have it on vinyl, but I 
sampled it from my USB record player. In fact one of the first things I 
did when I got my new machine (the old one had intermittent problems 
with the USB ports).

I don't know any dates by heart, but without resorting to Google, I can tell it
is *quite* a bit ;)

Good music is timeless.

yes, we are talking about something of the order of pi*1e5 days before 
he was born.

indeed.
See, p.o-t never disappoints when talking about whatever sort of music. 
There are always people who know about it. I now know that there are 
some here that know and appreciate Moving Hearts, Blackmore's Night and 
von Bingen. I can't remember any reaction when I mentioned Eric Bogle or 
Meav, but no doubt there are some fans here. Anybody else got a good tip 
about some less know music?

Really? That's interesting... I can't even see a button for posting a 
message.

Using a newsreader?

You do realise you can connect to news.gmane.org with Thunderbird, yes?

Hum, let's see what I have in my playlist...

Quite a bunch of irish / celtic / (british) folk artists, some of which may
qualify as "less known" to "outsiders":

Steeleye Span or Clannad seem to have been quite popular names, I gather.
Fairport Convention maybe less so. Capercaille, anyone? Loreena McKennit could
be quite unknown to many "outsiders", though that's just a guess.

Anyone remember Peter, Paul and Mary?

I won't mention the Bretonic harp player "Morgan" 'cause I guess she'll be *too*
unknown. *Very* intriguing music (imagine Joan Baez' british-type folk music
songs, but with the much "richer" harp, and replace Joan's occasionally shrill
voice with a much more pleasant one; that'll get you close). I'll never forget
her live performance in some small kind of pub, with an almost family-like
atmosphere. Never heard of her before, or ever since.


Some "minstrels" - ballad singers - from my dad's record rack, some of which may
have been forgotten:

Gordon Lightfoot known to anyone? "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" is my favorite.
Beautiful ballads.

Kris Kristofferson did some beautiful ballads, too. And then there's Leonard
Cohen.

I guess Donovan and John Denver (well, more of a contry musician than a ballad
singer, the latter) are quite known at least to the older generation. Same with
Cat Stevens.

Steve Winwood's "John Barleycorn (Must Die)"


Various others that I can't fit into any category:

"Short Sharp Shocked" from punk rocker Michelle Shocked (a very un-punk-ish
album if I have any idea of punk rock)

Hazeldine known to anyone? Very powerful version of "Summer Wine" (originally
known by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood), and a few other powerful pieces I'd
classify as coutry/rock.

Big Daddy might be totally unknown to most. They seem to have done mostly
humorous retro-style cover versions of 80's and 90's pop music (e.g. "Money for
Nothing" to music remniscient of "16 tons" and the like). They also did a cover
version of the whole Beatles' "Sgt. Petter" album.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo - the best songs IMHO being those they did together with
Paul Simon, but did some good ones of their own, too.

Another South African singer: Miriam Makeba.


I guess The Shadows are known to the older generation, and Fleetwood Mac and
Creedence Clearwater Revival likewise.


Anyone remember "Bakerman" from "Laid Back"?


Well... maybe not too much unknown stuff, but a bit may be in there. (Don't know
if any of these meets your taste though)

yes, and I had had a record before Harry's Game.

Liege and Lief was one of my first albums

Rings a bell, I think I have heard some, but don't own a record.

I know her, even met her and have a picture to prove it ;)

Perhaps you can find something on youtube, you may know better what you 
are looking for than me. It sounds interesting. Only bretonic harp 
player that I know is Alan Stivell.

Should be on a list of things to try, but never came round to it, thanks 
for reminding,

Doesn't ring a bell.

I have a record and seen them live in our local theater.

Another one that should be on a list.

Sure, I am older.

I don't

Somethings may, but there are more people here ;)
