The Queensbury Rules

Ah. One by them I've never heard. Quite like this.:)

Fiddlers' Bid.

Well, it's a catchy tune, but it sounds a bit too . . . orchestral, maybe?

[jrdavis50]

The Unthanks.

So breathy. Does the poor girl have asthma?

Martin Simpson.

Whoa! I couldn't figure out if he was trying for your basic, honky-tonk blues slide guitar sound or a Hawaiian slack-key sound.

Then I decided it didn't matter, it was awesome. :hurray:

Rosie Doonan.

She's starting to grow on me . . . :)

Ellis Kennedy.

When the title popped up, I was expecting a cover of the Stones song.

This was better. Like the percussion.

Alistair Hulett.


Just bare bones stuff: a voice and a guitar. Beautiful! :hurray:

[jrdavis50]

Harpeth Rising.

Oh, I quite like this! :thumbsup:

Mike Seeger and Bob Dylan - Ballad Of Hollis Brown

When I first heard Dylan singing this song on his "Times they are a changin'" LP back in the 60s I loved it.
I really dislike this version. It sounds just like he's taking the pee out of his own work, and I can't take it seriously at all.
Nice bit of banjo, though. ;)

Both sides now

On the other hand, I rate this as a better performance than the original by Joni Mitchell, and I don't mean to do Joni an injustice by saying it.
