Very sad news . Richie Havens has died at the age of 72 . ultimateclassicrock.com/richie-havens-legendary-folk-singer-dead-at-72/Woodstock was were I heard of Richie Imagine being asked to open up the Festival with nearly half a million people in front of you ! I love the film and it turned me into a lot of bands from the U.S. Thank god then for having Richie Havens at Woodstock . If you have never seen this , your in for a treat. I just love this performance .

Just made me fish out my Spoonful CD!! Does it annoy anyone else that audiences (especially British ones) always clap on the ON-beat though? :/

Never would have had you as Spoonful fan Al . Not a fan of Patti Smith . Apart from Because The Night and her bit on E.Bow The Letter , REM . But this track is Banjo brillant . Smells Like Teen Spirit . Patti Smith.

A very brilliant early Video of Roy Harper doing One For All , from the brilliant album Folkjokeopus done very brilliantly . Just a little note . I just very surprised that this thread is not very active (apart from yours truly ) Folk is wonderful and diverse music that can be from the very brilliant Roy Harper to the Not so brilliant Joanna Newsom . I think it`s on Par with Prog Rock with even today`s folk scene has it`s own nod to the early days of Folk . I`m a Rambler I`m a Rambler ... Manchester . Liverpool . Our end . Hang on there is something pricking me eye after that last one .

Mr K
Let's keep this thread alive. I have quite a lot of albums that could be classified as 'Folk'. Anyone like Joni Mitchell? This is my favourite song of hers but not one of her well known ones. I love this - poignant lyrics. See what you think. Quality not so good.
Joni Mitchell - Chinese Cafe (Unchained Melody)

Nice One Art !
I love Joni . I have all her albums .
Tough to pick a fave . But this is up there . Still sends shivers down my neck after so many many years of hearing .
