Two of them feature here: Two Coats is an old gospel song while, in  another nod to Bert Jansch,   Poison is a cover of a half-remembered 1969 number from the Birthday Blues LP, given new life here and perhaps new relevance too in the face of recent discoveries & developments. Both tracks have a bit of a death ballad air to them. Revisiting the 1971 Rosemary Lane LP by Bert Jansch with three songs and an instrumental. This happens to not only be my favourite Jansch album, but also my favourite ever acoustic guitar album while the title track is to me the definitive version of the popular old sea shanty. I wore out a cassette tape copy of this album with co...

The forecasts for 2026 are ominous as the new year immediately kicked off with more illegal US foreign aggression and more threats against sovereign nations.

STONED FOLK Folky psychedelic rock selection for all the terminal stoners out there. A nod back to all those halycon years hanging out getting nicely mellow on a regular basis hehe....

Over The Hills And Far Away A somewhat eclectic landscape of folk, americana and country with a few rocky outcrops along the way...
