Here's a fellow who who was in some band in the '60's. The band was Fairport Convention. Yeah, I don't recall it either.
But he's a "folksy" rocker, with a long repertoire. I understand he has a new "lifetime compilation" out. But if you don't know him, I'd like to introduce him to you.
His name is Richard Thompson, and if you've ever heard anything by him, it's likely this one. It's been picked up by a lot of country/bluegrass bands. Note the tight writing.
Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
But here's a gentle little love song:
Beeswing
And he's still around, doing what folk singers do, singing about current events. The "dad" in this song is Baghdad.
Dad's Gonna Kill Me
