Hear hear. As an artist you have to where you are taken. . .not where you are told to go. You can't plan a masterpiece.
But many, many great albums have been created with the input of a producer who wasn't a band member. Many terrible albums were created when bands or artists decided they knew best and didn't need to pay attention to anyone else's opinion. Band members can sometimes be too close to the project. Simply having a third party on board who will sort the wheat from the chaff in terms of the material to be recorded could make the next album a huge improvement on the previous few. |

Be good to hear them doing Ashley's song, Wings, which charts the history of Folk Rock.

Definitely (checks pulse to see why he is agreeing... mutters and moves on...). That "short" version on the box set ( I think) is the best one. Ashley's on its own is a tad too "worthy" whereas with the full band going at it and Richard's superb musical references to "Eight Miles High" etc it is a very good song... Any idea why it is only this "short" version? Too much 6X on the mixing board? |

It's the most appropriate extant song I can think of for a 40th anniversary. But it does call for a very strong lead guitarist (cue guest spot). |

Ashley's on its own is a tad too "worthy" Some might say that's a valid criticism of a lot of Ashley's recent (ie the last 25 years!!) work. Some might. I couldn't possibly comment... |

I think it's just a case of referencing an otherwise available track. The complete version's on the 'Cropredy Box'. |

Eh? I'm not quite with you Jack, the UnConventional recording is just the Cropredy 1997 live recording (from 'The Cropredy Box') with a minute or so chopped off at the start and the end. It's exactly the same performance though...

The idea that I may have fallen out of the daft tree and hit a few branches has from time to time occurred to me... However... I have a live version which includes Rich T's fab Strat doing "Eight Miles High" rif.... I think that's the one from the Box Set... It cuts off abruptly after a couple of minutes... The other version I have heard is sans Rich T's Byrd warbling and may be studio. I shall research further when I get a mo... |

That'll probably be the Ashley Hutchings/Ken Nicol recording on one of the Guv'nor CDs. There's also a couple of Albion Band versions.

Chatting to someone in the know on Thursday night,I understand the band are getting back in the studio in mid October.Whilst not a double,plans for a long single CD are in place.Tam Lin is a definite and Sir Patrick Spens is a possibility,in the current,slighty faster form.Wow! Can't wait! Roll on early 2007!
