Americana and suchlike

[Gerry D]

Emmylou Harris
John Hiatt
... And many of their collaborators.
More than any genre, including jazz perhaps, this country music spins an enormous web.

[Raymo]

Yep
For example, John Hiatt (he was the young fella on Heartworn Highways, Ivor) leads you to-
Ry Cooder, nick Lowe, Flaco Jiminez (played as a band), Jim Dickinson, whose sons are the North Mississippi Allstars, Sonny landreth (who's played slide with Mark Knopfler), Jeff Healey, Roseanne Cash and a myriad of Texas musicians

Haven't got room to do a "tree" from Emmylou, would be here all night
Labrynthine!

This could go in blues or jazz but is probably happiest here...

An old favourite, I had this on repeat in the shop Thurs - Sat and took it home to listen properly. It's just brilliant.

And a Joe Henry production too
Philip King just played "Katie Cruel" by Karen Dalton on Other Voices
Spine-tingling stuff
Same vein, check out the Gift Band live 2010 (Norma Waterson, Eliza Carthy, Martin Carthy & band). Sublime!

Thanks for the suggestions guys - I'm off to check some of them out, I know Emmylou, Gillian Welch and Hiatt but I need to search out a bit more too....

while in this area...WARNING!
Anyone who has tickets for the great "Transatlantic Sessions" in the Convention Centre 7 Feb
(Aly Bain, Jerry Douglas, Tim O'Brien, all-star US/UK/Irish cast)
Its been cancelled and reset for same night in the NCH..Tickets for original venue NOT valid!
You must get refund and rebook NCH...at increased price by 8/9 Euro.
Something very odd here
Can understand NCH capacity 900 v 3000 in CC
but non transferable tickets and 25% price increase
may be time to talk to Joe.....
