Re: Folk Cup 2019 Round 5 Match 5
This is a much better John & Bev selection than the last one.
John in great voice, great instrumentation.
Then there's Bert performing a classic.
What a master!
A close match
Tough but, B has it
B has it

So there's that Nick Drake influence he always went to great pains to deny!

Stellar guitar but piss poor vocals in both.
I prefer A.

Re: Folk Cup 2019 Round 5 Match 5
Two decent picks, but I'm afraid that A is edging towards the obvious here. Ok, it's not "Solid Air", but it's not far off. For me though, it's all a bit polished and lacking in emotion and grit for me. Too smoooooth.
B is a much more intimate, low-key kinda thing, and I think Bert's vocals suit it perfectly. This is what folk should be, really, isn't it, just one person, a guitar, and a really poor hairstyle and shirt.

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Two very nice picks, but A has the edge for me, today.

Titanic battle. Bert is easy on the palate here and the gweetarwork is sublime. Great pick.
Stormbringer though is a terrific record and this is one of my favorite tracks of it. Paul Harris' piano is just great!

Re: Folk Cup 2019 Round 5 Match 5
A: Nice, definitely what I was hoping for from this cup. Also new to my ears having not paid much attention to this sort of ilk in the past. A bit of percussive strumming typically always gets me where I live. A bit Nick Drake to me in bits.
B: The top of the mountain. How anybody plays like that with such ease...unimpeachable.
