^ Nice! Didn´t know that Springsteen was doing some covers of traditional songs, Americana style.

Here´s a really catchy track, Poor Old Horse, from the Albion band´s 1978 album:-

^ Yeah, he recorded a couple of albums of traditional songs with the Seeger Session Band a few years back. Well worth checking out, particularly the 'live' album.

^ Thanks for this reminder, and the other Imagined Village tracks that you posted a few pages back. I´d never heard of them before, but I´m planning to investigate them now; I´m impressed with their folk credentials and attidudes to music making.

Here´s something in a more traditional style; my favourite from Nic Jones. Has he been mentioned here yet?

Mr. Charlie · 12-21-2015, 08:38 AM

^Not heard him before but he has the classic folk voice. Very nice.

Obscure Americana, please.

Oh, yes. And can someone explain to me the difference between regular country and bluegrass, please?
