Folk recommendations

[awall]

as far as stuff that sounds like simon and garfunkel, have you heard this record?

If I Knew You Were the One

if we're just talking random folk reccomendations...

both bill fay albums (hard to find OGs, but both and reissued on CD)
vashti bunyan - another diamond day (again, impossible to find. buy the CD)
elizabeth cotton
anything jonh fahey has touched

TheMack, check your pms.

 

[Swayze]

this album is fucking amazing.
Indeed.

"The Herald" & "In the Lost Queen's Eyes" are wig-blowing.

 

[brops]

I sampled this not long ago (i am no beatmaker or producer, but like to play around sometimes)

i need more tim buckley in my life. all i have is starsailor

This too is VERY important. Buy them all. (except greetings from LA--even though Carfagna will argue that there is at least one redeeming trait on this album, just because, you know, it's Tim Buckley, and he's the motherfucking dude

)

Lorca, Blue Afternoon, Goodbye Hello, Happy Sad, S/T are all so necessary.

 

[chris]

Buy them all.

you're down with "look at the fool" and "sefronia" even??


"greetings from l.a." was his "funk" album. and you get a postal-unfriendly postcard to boot.








having "starsailor" as your only buckley is like collecting backwards or something.

It would help if I could look at my bookshelf cause I can't remember anything...

For modern stuff I like
Lau Nau
Jack Rose (exactly like Fahey)
Apothocary Hymns

Old stuff I didn't see mentioned already
Joan Baez - One Day at a Time (the best by far)
Arthur - Love is the Revolution (not all fey like the first one)
Both Kathy Smith LPs
Denny Guy
Jamie Brockett - 2

Ruthann Friedman is definitely the best one I've heard in the last year.

Collie Ryan owns you all.
