PS: 52 is in the house

The original song dates from the 13 Century, apparently. "Sing loudly, cuckoo ! "

Dark Star on the drive to work today

Awesome

From Ladies and Gentlemen the Grateful Dead

Aagh. Thats what they sing at the end of the 1973 Wickerman.

Not a happy moment

That movie haunted me for weeks afterward

Listening to Postcards of the Hanging & comparing it with Dylan & the Dead.
The Dead recording is really crisp while the Dylan one sounds very muddy, & the lyrics of I Want You are almost impossible to make out.

1stshow - they are one of those bands I've heard of, but never actually heard. I always imagined them to be in the same bag as another band I never heard - Chicken Shack. Of course, not having heard either, it's impossible to tell.

Earlier LP titled C.C.B.B. - A Lot of Bottle
(EMI import from England)
Later just C.B.B. - Sense of Direction
Bought used in the '70s for $2.50 and $2.75.
A little nostalgia to start the day.
Cheers
Hey Daverock - I never realized these guys are British, lol!

Subtitled "the pagan sound of British and Irish Folk 1966-1975" this is another excellent compilation released by Grapefruit a few years ago. Typically 3 cd sets from the above timespan, there are now quite few excellent compilations released on this label. This particular one follows on from one called "Dust on the Nettles" - also recommended, that came out a few years before this one.

Nice cover of’Brokedown Palace’ by Gillian Welch & David Rawlings on Utube.
