Big Big Train "folklore"
Spotify world listen....
never heard of them previously which is why
I elected to hear it...
this is their nineth album...
wiki says "
uk prog rock band"....
lots o folky stuff on here that expands outwards,
these guys are very proficient musicians judging
this album...
a good album that will get another listen or two
by me over the next week or two!
from the album, my initial favourite track:

"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
Big Big Train get a lot of mention on prog music fora. They are a band I probably SHOULD check out in detail at some stage. I think they wear their Englishness on their sleeve, which is fine by me, I think the English folk sound mixes very well with progressive rock.
I used to listen to a lot of internet prog stations when Live365 was going, and they popped up from time to time. I remember enjoying what I heard, but not desperately feeling the need to hear it again - something that happens a lot with bands in the prog field.

you mentioned their "English folk sounds" bob...
one of the first things I thought of when listening to the album (in places) was Jethro Tull.
