I'm currently listening to Renaissance: Carnegie Hall... does that count?

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Banda do  Casaco

saint-just : sublime vocals (in the style of kate Bush and the vocalist of hardscore)

Nico (the album 'Chelsea girl')

Leonard Cohen ('Songs of Leonard Cohen')

joni Mitchell ('Blue' is an essential folk-rock album)

trader Horne : 'morning way'

john Martyn : 'Bless the weather' and 'Solid air'

Marissa Nadler : 'The saga of Mayflower May'

Tir Na Nog : s/t, an essential irish folk-rock album

Spirogyra : 'St Radigund's' with an excited violinist and the sublime voice of Amanda parson, but you have to cope with the punk-sounding male vocals

Bread, love and dreams : 'Strange tale of captain Shannon and the hunchback from Gigha'

Tudor lodge : s/t

fairport convention : 'liege and lief'

Trees : their two albums are definitely essential

Pentangle : everything until 'Cruel sister', this last one being their most acoustic folk album

Magna Carta : 'Lord of the ages', an essential folk-rock album

Ithaca : 'A game for all who know'

Bob Dylan : 'the freewheelin''

 

Folk-rock is probably my favourite musical genre...

"Willow Tree" is a fine folk prog song!  Great psych influence covers too... Ann Steuart has a lovely voice, but their music is perhaps little too sweet to my taste. I respect them still. Didn't they have an inn or something?
