It was listening to the William Prince Album "Earthly Days", that reminded me of them...with that deep earthy voice. I prefer William Prince, but it's certainly worth checking out.

Hi Cno,
Do me a favour please and write the artists name, my screenreader isn't picking it up from the graphic.

Sorry Mac....It's Harry Manx "Faith Lift".
Nb. The last track seems to have some weird crackling distortion on it, so turn the volume down when you get to it.

Thanks Cno... didn't think I was going to like it, first track very bluesy, but on the whole very enjoyable, he likes a bit of Sitar which I find very atmospheric and great guitar work.
If you like that, try Michael Chapman and his album 50, there's a particularly great track called The Mallad all about a famous steam train I believe.
Also, try Richard Hawley, start with his first release Coles Corner

It's the inclusion of those various guitars that make Harry Manx interesting.....and I will check out your suggestion, as I'm always looking for this sort of stuff.

I have tried the recommendations and I found them pleasant....but my acid test is, whether I would I spend my money on them - and I'm not sure I would....but I will give them another listen.
I have another suggestion for you (if you haven't got it), which is an oldie, but a goodie (I owned it back in the mid 70s). Randy Edelman "Farewell Fairbanks". You almost certainly know the hit "The Uptown Uptempo Woman"
I don't see it on Tidal....but you might find it on Spotify.

I understand and that's exactly how I judge an album, neither would I buy either of those artists, but thought they might appeal to you.
Do you like Bert Jansch?
Randy Edelman is very hard to find, loads of film scores, but there is a best of on Spotify.

I don't know...do you have a recommended album and I'll soon find out.
Re. Edelman - Tidal has "R.E and his Piano - The very best of"...which might give you an idea.

I love the quality of the recording and I like the Guitar Playing.....but I don't get on with the singing.
There is very little "Folksie Music" I actually enjoy. I quite like Christy Moore...but not enough to have actually bought any of his albums.
I love Blues and decent American Country....but hate Irish Country with a vengeance.
I can tolerate Irish "Diddley Dee" Music if played Live in a pub, but only if I've had a few pints of Guinness to soften the impact..
I do however like the Proclaimers (Sunshine on the Leith)....but who doesn't. (Never knew there was a lisp going on, until I played them through my system).
