I'll Keep It With Mine - another song (like MOTL) of loss but also of hope.

'For Althea, from prison'

I'm not a fan of this song (it rather drones on for me) but this piece of film is beautiful  Smiley

To Althea-- I like the 1994 Cropredy version in the big box better than the Nine version.

But my vote goes to Genesis Hall. Edgy, thrilling, it all came together the day they recorded that. What a first line.

Clock up a 4th, always been my favourite of the Fairport "prog" tracks by a long way. Live it was even better.

Thanks for the link, Mike.

I don't like it.  At least I don't like the production and arrangement on this version.  The song itself might sound better live, though I'm not holding out much hope for it being my cup of tea in any form.

So that's a -1 from me.
