John’s voice is a tad on the 40 major a day side…
This is a lovely effort from Taylor returning to her roots

Much more typical of Taylor’s more recent stuff than her country roots
She’s a great artist
Caught a small bit Creedon tonight coming back from Carrigaline… He was playing a few Ewan MacColl songs. Played this version of the moving on song by Norma Waterson (gets going 30 seconds in)
Here’s Ewan with Peggy Seeger - Will ye no come back again…

The above reminded me that i went down a rabbit hole of old blues and folk and found some great docs on YouTube made by Alan Lomax. They are part historical part sociological… The Appalachian and Cajuns ones really look at how the music and customs of the old world clung on in rural US. The blues one… Well there’s no explanation needed there…
Well worth a watch @flattythehurdler @Fagan_ODowd @glenshane … Real people, real music.

Was that the one produced by Cork’s Philip King?

I don’t recall any other series of that name based around folk music, so I suppose it must have been.
Corks Philip King was a fine musician and a fine presenter. Scullion were a fine band.
Aye, I was in a blues club recently in Chicago. Very fond of the blues I am.
I was in Buddy Guy’s over a couple of times… Brought a young lady on a date there so i did…
Great spot if you get a blues legend on the night. I got this guy. It was magic.
