Steeleye Span

Garolou - Tableaux D'hier Vol. 1 (1976-1980) (1991) Music

Posted by gribovar at April 4, 2018

Garolou was a pan-Eastern Canadian group with members from Ontario thru to the Maritimes. Its origins could be traced to Franco Ontarian brothers Marc and Michel Lalonde who were living in Prince Edward Island in 1974 and part of a theatre troupe. Their musical career began humbly as a folk duo, but their interests and their popularity resulted in expansion to a full rock ensemble including keyboards, bass and drums, performing revved up and re-interpreted folk songs with plenty of progressive flourishes, Canada's answer to Steeleye Span if you will…

A college friend of Nick Drake, Robert Kirby’s first commissioned works as an arranger were his unique, autumnal orchestrations for Drake’s “Five Leaves Left”. The sound was English and melancholic, closer to Vaughan Williams than Phil Spector. He was soon in demand and by the end of the 70s had worked with the cream of the British folk rock world. This is the first collection of Kirby’s very special sound.

Appaloosa - Appaloosa (1969) [Japanese Ed. 2006] Music

Posted by Andi_Deris at Sept. 7, 2018

The acoustic, folk-influenced group Appaloosa was the project of violinist Robin Batteau and guitarist/songwriter/singer John Parker Compton. Their lone release, 1969's APPALOOSA, bears the heavy scent of the '60s coffeehouse scene, with overtones of jazz (there's some nice saxophone work here) and Renaissance minstrel sounds (a la Steeleye Span) threaded through literate, melancholic singer-songwriter fare. The combination works nicely, and makes for a nice listen that will especially appeal to fans of '60s folk. …a Collectors Choice Music exclusive!

Various Artists - Now That's What I Call Christmas [3CD] (2015) Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Dec. 25, 2018

Released in time for the 2015 holiday season, the updated U.K. edition of Now That's What I Call Christmas offers a heaping plate of Yuletide pop favorites spanning multiple decades. From holiday rock perennials like the Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" and Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody" to more contemporary pop fare like Kelly Clarkson's "Underneath the Tree," this hefty three-disc set covers a lot of ground. The selections on the first disc range from the 1970s to contemporary while the latter two discs go back as far as Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole with bits of vintage Motown, soul, folk, and rock tossed in for variety. Not every track is a surefire classic and more than a few feel like filler, but at 71 tracks, there is more than enough Grade-A holiday music to go around.

Bright Phoebus, Lal and Mike Waterson’s 1972 folk-noir masterpiece, has long been recognised as one of British music's legendary lost records. Following the parting of ways of The Watersons and freed from the strictures of folk orthodoxy, Lal and Mike Waterson’s love of words allowed them to serve the needs of their songs in ways that weren’t possible when singing already written songs.

Secret Records are releasing a 2xCD & DVD double pack by Michael Chapman recorded live at Barrel’s Ale House in Berwick-on-Tweed 15th August 2003. Leeds-born Michael Chapman – alongside Caledonian contemporaries, Bert Jansch and Al Stewart – emerged in the mid-1960s with his uniquely English take on folk-blues. The era of the folk-singer-songwriter-as-pop-star was kicked off Stateside by Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton, and cloning soon followed in Britain in the shape of Donovan and Cat Stevens. But what musicians such as Chapman and Jansch then brought to the folkies’ party was guitar virtuosity.

Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music history. Their mix of hard rock; folk melodies; blues licks; surreal, impossibly dense lyrics; and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them 11 gold and five platinum albums…
