The Watersons by The Watersons, released on Topic in 1966. Sleeve Notes The Watersons sing songs from all over the country but pay special attention to those collected in their native East Yorkshire. They live in Hull, the great seaport beside the Humber that also produced one of our greatest poets, Andrew Marvell; and in Hull they have for some years run their famous club, Folk Union One. https://mainlynorfolk.info/watersons/records/thewatersons.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66qUOmGbvIQ #TheWatersons #NormaWaterson #MikeWaterson #LalWaterson #FolkMusic #Hull #Music #TraditionalSongs #TopicRecords

FTA! Songs Of The GI Resistance by Barbara Dane, released on Paredon in 1970. "As opposition to the Vietnam War increased in the late 1960s, it began to emerge in the military community itself, primarily led by young draftees. Folk singer and political activist Barbara Dane lent her voice and support to resisting solders in a series of recorded performances at GI coffee houses near Army bases in Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina. The songs are a mix of traditional songs of protest and resistance, and original songs by Dane and draft resisters.

Sir John Alot Of Merrie Englandes Musyk Thyng & Ye Grene Knyghte by John Renbourn released on Transatlantic Records in 1968. Review by Bruce Eder An instrumental album (originally called Sir John Alot of Merrie England) featuring John Renbourn with his Pentangle bandmate Terry Cox on percussion and Ray Warleigh on flute. Originally released in England in 1968, the same year that Pentangle started to record, Sir John Alot was steeped largely in English folk music. Highlights include "The Trees They Do Grow High" (aka "Long A-Growing"), solo guitar miniatures such as "Lady Goes to Church," the epic "Morgana," with its sharply nuanced tempo and timbre changes, and the sprightly "My Dear Boy.".. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9HFxkr8abg&list=OLAK5uy_lTwgEENcm3DL2888TWIarsj9OS-8Tqf-0 #JohnRenbourn #TerryCox #Pentangle #FolkMusic #RayWarleigh #Music

Frost And Fire (A Calendar Of Ritual And Magical Songs) by The Watersons, released on Topic in 1965. Sleeve Notes by A. L. Lloyd Seasons of anxiety, seasons of joy. The common people had their rites of propitiation and triumph, older than the rituals of the Church and closer bound to their daily lives. This record takes us through a year’s calendar, displaying songs that accompanied these ceremonies, season by season. ..Just as one doesn’t need to be an ancient Greek to be moved by the plays of Aeschylus, so it’s not necessary to be anything other than an ordinary freethinking twentieth century urban western man with a proper regard for humankind, to appreciate the spirit and power of these songs. To our toiling ancestors they meant everything, and in a queer irrational way they can still mean much to us. https://mainlynorfolk.info/watersons/records/frostandfire.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk6c8keJ2sA&list=RDkk6c8keJ2sA&start_radio=1 #TheWatersons #ConceptLP #ALLoyd #FolkMusic #PaganRitual #Ritual #MagicalSongs

@gedeonm@mastodon.social How about this line from Joni Mitchell's song "Chelsea Morning": "And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses." Everything she writes is amazing, so it was hard to pick one. #folkmusic
