Thanks Papa 🙏
wow what is this version of ROADS!!! amazing.
Isn't it? Roads without the Rhodes. So spare and stripped down.
I tried the Portishead original at first but the beats just came down too heavy for the rest of the set. So I went looking for versions. Lucky find.
I wish someone out there had the technical chops to isolate Beth Gibbons' vocal and layer it over the jazz version because I'd love to hear that if it worked.
Love this selection J. Including this beautiful cover of Who Knows… one of my all time favourites. Thank you 🙏
Always good to have you on board Rob 🙂
Can we even call that WKWTTG a cover version? The Fairport Convention release predates it but Sandy Denny brought the song into the band so maybe their version is the cover version. Especially since she'd already had a crack at it with the Strawbs. Wonder what it sounded like when it was just her and an acoustic guitar in the folk clubs in the mid-60s?
Anyway, I love that song as well. The older I get, the more it conjures the sense of all that life experience drifting irretrievably into the past. So it twists my melon that she was only nineteen when she wrote it. It's like Jackson Browne writing These Days at sixteen. How did they know?
I know that I can't separate my feelings and context as a listener from their intentions as songwriters but...how did they know? At least Tracey Thorn wrote a lyric like Late In The Afternoon from the vantage point of actually being middle-aged.
Which reminds me. This is the second time that I've featured Tracey Thorn in these sets but both tracks have been cover versions. That feels perverse, because I'm an admirer of her songwriting, and of her writing in general. Need to sort that at some point...
A beautiful listen, John! The guitar on Who Knows makes such a beautiful end to it all.
Agreed, she might not have had Richard Thompson's virtuosity but what she's doing works so well - it just shimmers and reverberates.
tracey thorn – night is my friend
rory a green – palais gallien
amanda whiting feat. chip wickham – just blue
st barbe – noumena
alfa mist and tawiah – all time
greentea peng – green

caoilfhionn rose and svaneborg kardyb – illusions
julianna barwick – healing is a miracle
the breath – for you (acoustic)
sandy denny – who knows where the time goes
(bbc live version from the john peel show 1973)
Really nice, man! Love the "roads" version! Enjoyed very much! Tnx!👌
@LordBrettHeadset I’ll get my coat.
Nineteen!! Amazing. As you say, a song that gets more and more poignant as I get older and it was written by a teenager. Wow.
Beautiful music, a thoughtful selection
Thanks Christian 🙏
