Neil Young & Crazy Horse live at the Cow Palace, Live Rust by any other name. Good pressing though and not as played out as Rust

Fairport Convention - Unhalfbricking
Always loved this cover as a teenager. I was very much one of the long haired rebels in the garden, leaving the 'straight parents' on the outside. Now, though not as old as Neil & Edna Denny, Sandy's parents I very much feel like an older 'straight' leaving the worlds youth (and my children) to a world I will never again belong too. As the gate is slightly open maybe that signifies the 'children' can come out and join the 'oldies' at some later time, but maybe there should be a no entry sign on the gate for the parents. Indeed, Who knows where the time goes?
Wonderful, wonderful cover.

Hi Diccus - thanks for the link. I hadn't realised it was Sandy who suggested reworking the traditional song A Sailor's Life; along with Trees Polly On The Shore, A Sailor's Life is a defining moment in folk rock. Of course, there is so much good (great) music on Unhalfbricking - especially Who knows where the time goes? (more I think on it, I come to the conclusion it was just about the greatest song ever written).

Jackie Oates originates from a musical family and was born in Cheshire, spending most of her school life in Staffordshire. She moved to Devon in 2001, where she still lives. Deriving her inspiration from early exposure to Bromyard and Sidmouth folk festivals, she fiddle sings mainly traditional English folk song, in both a solo capacity, as a member of Rachel Unthank and the Winterset, and with brand new trio 'Wistman's Wood. She also occasionally plays as part of a string trio with Devon band 'Show of Hands' She works for folk organisations such as Wren music, Folk South West and T.A.P.S, and Shooting Roots, where she tutors young people in the art of folk singing and playing. Jackie was a finalist in the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award 2003, and has since gone on to represent England at the European Network of Folk Arts festival in 2003, and has appeared on severed acclaimed folk albums; Sweet England (Jim Moray), Jim Moray (Jim Moray), Beam (Laurel Swift and Friends), Cruel Sister (Rachel Unthank and the Winterset), Witness (Show of Hands), Ghosts and Greasepaint (Barry Lister) and Twilight of the Dogs (Les Barker). Jackie's own self titled debut album is finally available at gigs and on her website. Whilst its not due for release just yet, it is already attracting a lot of attention.

Viola & piano for music of Spain & Argentina.
Ah, missed your question, by 10 minutes...
AFAIK, they are not at all related. The "trio obscur" approach (to Tango) is a more "intellectual" one. Also, they really celebrate their instruments more than Quadro Noevo does. Great sax lines, fully earthed, here, where Quadro Nuevo swings & sings more. Both valid approaches, but - different. Try to listen to samples...

Jackie Oates debut album was stunning (number 404 in Naim Owners Club - 1000 Best Albums - can't remember who nominated it
); I love the track Flower Of Northumberland. Jackie is very much in the Dame Shirley Collins school of folk music (No Roses period). Her follow up is due out on the same day as CSI: Ambleside (28th April); it is on the shopping list. I think you'll enjoy her CD.

Beethoven's 9 Symphonies as transcribed for the piano by Franz Liszt. Notice the bust of Beethoven on the piano - that Liszt admired and worshipped the ground that Beethoven walked on would be an understatement. I'm sure Beethoven would have been honored, too.
I think this received Stefan's highest recommendation a while back. I bought it last night at the Rava/Bollani gig in Nottingham (there was a great little jazz CD stall in the foyer). Lovely stuff on first listen, and I get the feeling it will be a grower - thanks, Stefan.
