Positively Folk Street - Dylan, Carthy & Me (UK Mail)

Steve says....

When I first picked up an acoustic guitar in my mid-teens, my repertoire was limited, until I discovered ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. That album was a revelation. At the time, I had no idea Dylan had drawn so deeply from our own folk traditions to shape many of his songs. Later that same summer, at Sidmouth Folk Festival, I saw Martin Carthy perform live for the first time. Another moment of discovery! Carthy is name-checked on the back cover of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan as a source of some of his melodies. Suddenly, the music I had assumed was purely American revealed its deep British roots.

In these 12 songs, I revisit the worlds of Bob Dylan and Martin Carthy - artists who shaped my musical journey and set me on a path I’m still walking.

The CD is £15 plus 2 Class UK P&P at £3.00 + £0.50 online transaction fee. Total 2nd Class UK = £18.50
