"British folk with Danny Thompson that at times, unfortunately, sounds more like The Seekers than Fairport Convention." Hahahahaha. That says it all.
That's a lot of Sun Ra for one day.
I watched the PBS documentary. I've got another dozen on deck. Gotta spread it out.
I enjoyed the Amaika Rude yesterday and followed it up with The Blues and the Abstract Truth which is definitely superior. Iain Ballamy’s Riversphere, vol. 1, was fantastic on a first listen.
