What Are You Listening To?

[Ruby]

Listening to Martin Simpson’s Trails and Tribulations (yes, that’s ‘a’ before ‘i’ – one of his many other albums is titled Righteousness and Humidity, lol! The mind immediately starts to leap around …). 



Never heard any of his stuff before – he’s a highly lauded folk musician/guitarist with a fairly modern sound and is one helluva banjoista or whatever they are called. Seriously – lovely to listen to musos who are so assured and competent around a fretboard, even if not completely sold on every single thing they do. 

This track, oddly, calls to mind Ian Anderson & Co … (keep getting “Fallen on Hard Times” in my head which is weird! Guess I’ll be listening to The Broadsword and the Beast next then … ) …
