 Topic: Prog folk ?
Posted: August 03 2005 at 09:17 |

Prog folk is a genre that I haven't checked out enough. Therefore, I'd like you to name your favourite classics that offer a fair share of accustic instruments. My favourites are Gryphon (UK), Parzival (Germany) and Uzva (Finland). Cheers!

I don't really know what means "prog-folk". Would somebody explain to me? IMHO, if this genre exists, Lindisfarne, Steeley Span and Fairport would be prog-folk... This is the closer I can get to this riddle! Ricochet, Jethro Tull is also a prog folk band...

Renaissance and Mostly Autumn both have a folky edge to them as well..

Los Jaivas - Chile (andean music prog)
Comus - devilish folk prog
Spirogyra - folk rock goes prog read the reviews
Pentangle - folk meets jazz & blues to make it rock.
Mellw Candle - excellent folk rock
Algarnas Tradgard - Sweden - Gryphon meets Fairport Convention.
Kebnekaise - Sweden trad folk with strong prog overtnes
Malicorne - France - Medieval prog a bit like Gryphon.
Jan Dukes De gray - mice and rats is stellar - just got included.
The Trees - much proggier Fairport Convention.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

And I too like Mostly Autumn although their latest album appears to be taking them away from the Folky/Prog direction. Going to see them for the 14th time on the 20th of this month.

I've been wanting to check out Parzival for a while now, but i can't seem to find any songs anywhere. Are there any sound clips up on the net?

Mostly Autumn and Mellow Candle and, although she's not prog, you should listen to Kate Rusby, the best female folk singer around.

Steve Unruh. Prog-folk and multi-instrumentalist. If you like violin, flute, hand percussions and acoustic guitar, check 'em out.
Here's a link to his website. He has a FREE download sampler CD, plus a 17:11 minute epic from a newly remastered release of "Two Little Awakenings" CD.

Jethro Tull's folk period is amazing. Their folkiest albums are Songs from the Wood, Heavy Horses, and Stormwatch, but if you want something more acoustic, try Minstrel in the Gallery. If you don't mind some 80's synthesizers along with the folky stuff, try Broadsword and the Beast. Stand Up is a blues rock album with some folk influences, so that might be worth checking out.

You might want to give French band XII Alfonso a listen. Especially "The Lost Frontier" or "Claude Monet Vol I".
