Vote for a FAIR album before Dec. 14
 

Every two weeks the Folk And International Roots Album Club will vote for an album that they will listen to and discuss in the coming weeks.
Anyone can vote in this poll, but if you vote, please follow through and be ready to discuss whichever album wins the poll.
These are the candidates to choose from :-


^ “ Haunting, intimate, fragile“ are the words that turn up elsewhere on the internet to describe an album which is far removed from the usual commercially-inspired exercises. In fact it was apparently recorded at Sibylle`s home, just for private circulation, and was only released 30 years later, at her son`s insistence. Can`t get much better Folk credentials than that.



Six options with some very different styles, I imagine, even though this week the nominations have polarized out between two continents; North America and Africa.
Well, let`s get voting and see where our loyalties, or interests, lie !

I'd love to see a write-up for Folksongs and Instrumentals With Guitar (1958) by Elizabeth Cotten but I'd love to see any of these albums reviewed.

Good to see you on one of the FAIR club threads, Big3.
I`ve already voted for Sibylle Baier this week, which has nudged her ahead for the moment, but the other deserving albums will get their chance too.

Hey thanks, as I said, i'm just glad to get some direction. I have been new-music-less for awhile.

^ Well, you can always check back over the albums that we`ve already reviewed, if you like. The threads are listed in the first post, here:-

In this poll, two women are fighting it out for first place: Sibylle Baier and Elizabeth Cotten.
As previously with a tie, if people agree that it`s fair, I`m going to give first place to the candidate who has been waiting longest in the polls. So after waiting since September 30, and after a lifetime lived in some obscurity, come on down, Sibylle Baier, and take your place among the elite but illustrious ranks of FAIR club winners !!
"Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way..."


Sibylle`s discussion thread will open on December 21st. :)
