I'm back in Illinois, so have more e-mail. Didn't we have an awesome time? Let's do it again without germs.
Current music: "Rowena," Meic Stevens
OK, let me rant on this for a bit. The amazing thing about Outlander to me is that while acoustic-guitar singer-songwriter folk is great, and I love the really disorientingly freaked-out sound of hard-core 60s psychedelia, I have never before heard someone manage to play the latter as the former. Consider, for instance, the early demo version of "Yorric," which doesn't sound like anything else in the world. And am I deluded, or is there Fairport Convention influence in "Rowena"?
