On the subject of folky stuff. I was reminded of this seasonal offering yesterday.



Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

It was a ‘hit’ in the late 70s if I remember correctly. Well it made TOTP anyway. Amazing voice. There’s a spoof version by Fairport Convention too called Crudités 😄

Just checked - it reached #14 in 1973 (I was 14 at the time) - thought I may have it in my 45s - found 3 Steeleye Span singles but not that one 🤔
Great song BTW - just played it to my wife - she had not heard it before - I guess Steeleye Span were not big in the US!

Early 80's I was a bit of a New Romantic, never owned a frilly shirt mind but I loved groups like Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet.

I've just bought 40 Years by Spandau Ballet which is a 3 disc set of just about everything they ever recorded and I still reckon this track is one of the best debut singles ever. Still don't know how Tony Hadley holds that note at the end though.

Duran Duran's debut single ain't too bad either. I remember trying to buy it when it first came out and none of the record shops in Town had heard of it. I finally got it from Humber Records just off Freeman Street.

Great record. One of their best.

Maddy Prior has/had a very good folk voice but she wasn't consistent. She could be way out of tune sometimes but this is  a cracking performance.

Here's another of theirs.

Another from the archives.

Eric Burden was Tom Jones with real soul in his voice. Saw the Animals several times but they only performed this live very rarely. It was our favourite Animals song as we had 2 Geordies on our landing who sang it constantly. Alan Price is still with the group here. He said he left because he didn’t like flying but the truth is more prosaic - an argument over royalties.
Still, a great group and Burden still has an amazing blues voice even now.

Tom Waits getting into the spirit of the season with a Silent Night/Christmas card from a hooker in Minneapolis combo.

Burden’s voice is amazing. As a young man he sounded like an old soul. Got me looking up the House of the Rising Sun. didn’t realise that it was such an old song, continuing a theme that might go back as far as the 16th century. Folk becomes Blues. No wonder I like it.
