Please report back, Firehazard! The Bellowhead album got a rave review in one of the Sundays yesterday.

I've just bought No Gods by Brian McNeill.

I sure will, Shaz.

I just need to listen to them again first...

So what do you think of the Brian McNeill album? I haven't heard it yet, but I do like Brian. He runs a cracking session at the Cambridge Folk Festival each year...

Yesterday the Postman brought me:

"The Outlaw John Dillinger" / "Crime Does Not Pay" Frank Luther Trio
Recorded in 1934, shortly after Public Enemy #1 was ratted out by The Lady in Red.

"Settin' The Woods On Fire" / "You Win Again" Hank Williams

GREAT Hank stuff! He didn't write "Woods" but I love it just the same.

Comb your hair and paint and powder
you act proud and I'll act prouder
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
tonight we're settin' the woods on fire
You're my gal and I'm your feller
dress up in my frock of yeller
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller
settin' the woods on fire

We'll take in all the honky tonks
tonight we're having fun
We'll show the folks a brand new dance
that never has been done

I don't care who thinks we're silly
you'll be daffy I'll be dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili
settin' the woods on fire

I'll gas up my hot rod stoker
we'll get hotter than a poker
You'll be broke but I'll be broker
tonight we're settin' the woods on fire
We'll sit close to one another
up our street and down the other
Tonight we'll have ball oh brother
settin' the woods on fire
We'll put aside a little time to fix a flat or two
My trey and tubes are doin' fine but the air is showin' through
You clap hands and I'll start bowin'
we'll do all the law's allowin'
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin'
settin' the woods on fire

"You Win Again" WAS written by Hank, and like his best songs, it's damned near perfect. It's hard to imagine someone writing a song like this. It seems more like something that's always been here, like a mountain range.

The news is out, all over town
That you've been seen out running round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go, you win again

This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knows but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
I just can't go, you win again

I'm sorry for your victim now
Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say you win again
You have no heart you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still you won again
I love you still you won again

I've only listened to part of it, but like it so far. I listen mainly to English, Irish and European roots music, and realised I had a gap in my Scottish knowledge

I've never liked Runrig or Capercaillie, but did like Ceolbeg (never quite recovered from hearing them in a confined space in a Birmingham folk club -- wow, bagpipe wanking, or what :lol:

) -- and discovered that the late Davy Steele, who was their lead singer, is on the Brian O'Neill album. And I think I've heard Dick Gaughan's version of the title track.

I know what you mean... although the Cambridge Folk Fest (which I've been going to every year for longer than I like to think about...) tends to have quite a lot of Scottish influence, so I pick some of it up from there. Brian McNeill is always there. This year's Scottish highlights included Julie Fowlis - an amazing Gaelic singer - and a couple of young bands called Lau and the Anna Massie Band. All worth checking out. Oh, and there was also Capercaillie, of course (ahem. :wink:

)

Currently listening to the Bellowhead album. Which I am really liking (mostly...). Interesting mix of folk, brass, dance, burlesque. And hints of Kurt Weill.
I'll get on to Jim Moray soon.

Thanks, Firehazard -- more names for my list! I was forcefed Capercaillie by a friend, so will definitely pass on that one :lol:

I love Kurt Weill, so I can see me sneaking into a shop and escorting the Bellowhead album out in a brown paper bag :lol:

Can anyone one remember a big roots band from the late 1980s who covered Weill stuff? I think they were called The Happy End, or something. Kind of like Bellowhead, but the singers could actually sing :lol:
