Not unexpected but Towersey have just announced this year will be their last :-( That's sad. Might actually help Cropredy next year though - less competition for the folk scene. DW |

Robert Beam we are releasing the 19 CD box , it’s the big one. I will definitely post it on this page when I have more information X Thanks, Paul. No idea why I couldn't see that but I couldn't. I'll be really interested to see what price these go out at. If it's literally identical to the previous release I'll definitely be in. In the meantime I wonder if there will be a firesale of the existing copies for sale. I actually know of someone who paid £850 for one only 7 months ago. Ouch. There's a still sealed one on Discogs for £150 less than that at the mo. There's also one for £1973. I'm not sure what this proves (apart from the fact none of them will be selling to anybody who is aware of this news)   |

There were some hideous 'CSNY' albums around then...CSNY's American Dream, Stills' Right by You, Nash's Innocent Eyes, Neil's Landing on Water etc etc etc. Ghastly, with the odd nice song drowning in over production and nasty keyboards... American Dream was one of those albums you desperately wanted to like because it was the four of them back together after Crosby's time in prison but you came to realise that it was impossible for them to recapture the magic of Deja Vu and accept it for what it was. But the one standout track for me was Crosby's Compass. American Dream is the album that introduced me to the world of CSNY. I was in Garon Records, Oxford, circa 1990 and it was being played in the background. Thought that it was an excellent slab of AOR and bought it on the spot. If I'd known anything about the band's past, I might have been non-plussed about the updated sound but happily, I was able to listen without the weight of history colouring my experience and I still enjoy it all these years later. Big fan of most of their music, these days, individually and collectively. |

I like Joni's first three albums but she moved away from my sort of thing after that. But Blue was her fourth. Surely you don't consider that one an outlier? Jules I'm not overly keen Blue although I'm aware it's supposed to be a classic. I find it quite bizarre that anybody could like the first three albums but be not overly keen on the fourth. It's almost literally the conclusion (most would say zenith) of that particular body of work. It's quite straight forward really. I like the majority of songs on the first three albums but I don't get very much enjoyment from the ones on Blue. |

Magnificent 40 by The Men They Couldnt Hang, 3 CD retro collection, by a band that never did Cropredy, (did they ?) They would have gone down a storm,. Bit too close to the Pogues for Peggy's taste? Now you're talking , and they have a good following and would still go down a storm . Of course you would have to have Merry Hell too , so that John and Swill could do their Phil Ochs thing. |

You people be thankful. Our local festival has booked - among others - a turn with eight Facebook followers who makes music by reprogramming old games consoles and a ZX Spectrum. It's hard not to reflect out loud on the line up without sounding like the last Richard Littlejohn column out of Saigon. At least that sounds moderately interesting....it's probably awful, but it might not be. It's the lowest common denominator 'that'll do' stuff that really gets to me... |
