Over The Hills And Far Away A somewhat eclectic landscape of folk, americana and country with a few rocky outcrops along the way... Four songs by vocalist Judy Dunlop from her excellent Sway With Me LP with Ashley Hutchings from 2009, a celebration of the majesty and stoic beauty of trees that brings environmental degradation into focus. Dunlop has a rich, strong voice remenicent of Sandy Denny at her best. Also featuring songs from the incredible Iris Dement and Gillian Welch alongside David Rawlings . West country folk supergroup Show Of Hands are strongly represented while Neil Young , Free , Jethro Tull , Led Zeppelin and Elvis Costello blend in some slightly different vibes...    Listen to Over The Hills And Far Away by Old Timer in Isan on hearthis.at    Continuous mix 90 mins download from the streaming link above Thanks for passing through!

Tributes to the great Bert Jansch from Show Of Hands , Robert Plant and Allison Krauss run side by side with Jansch originals from the 70s & 80s, including 2 great collaborations with Rod Clements from 1988. Clements also features on the song Beachcomber with the classic Geordie folk rock band Jack The Lad . Several Bob Dylan salutes including cuts by Norah Jones , Mumford & Sons , Steve Earle and the late, great Kris Kristofferson . Dylan himself chips in with 2 takes on the American folk songbook recorded in the 80s & 90s.
