Fuchsia - Fuchsia

A progressive Folk Rock album of sorts, this 1971 release is replete with the full range of emotions, from melancholy to twee and all kinds of delicate intermingled shadings in between. It swoops through dark, shadowy passages and soars up into sun drenched, golden blue skies - often in the same song. It has, at its core, a beautifully pastoral folk sentimentality, and utilises fiddles, violin and acoustic guitars to their maximum potency, coupling them with haunting melodies and evocative lyricism in order to create vivid, atmospheric pictures for the listener.

Wonderful album, Stu. I remember you gave it to me about a million years ago and I fell in love.

Two endorsements. Hmmm. Will have to look for this one too.

I suppose I could start one up since no one is willing to (even though I am already running the Indie/Alternative one). I need to make a new thread, however, so I can have the original post's spot to edit and have as a schedule-setter.
