Les Cousins

"For two-and-a-half years, I had the Friday night show at Bunjies Coffee Bar, and it became a residency for me," Al Stewart remembered in an interview with this author for the recent collection of his U.S. singles.  "After a while, I got another residency right around the corner at a club called Les Cousins."  The Greek Street venue was a focal point of the London folk scene.  Nick Drake, Cat Stevens, Alexis Korner, John Renbourn, and a young American named Paul Simon all passed through its

As the COVID 19 outbreak continues to impact our lives, it's heartening to know that some things are returning to some semblance of "normal," or as close as we can get to it during this unpredictable impasse.  As we previously reported, Record Store Day has been split into three standalone "RSD Drop" days, occurring on August 29, September 26, and October 24.  That's not the only thing changing this time around.  It's been reported by Georgia-based shop Comeback Vinyl that the organization is

BertJansch Avocet40 WhiteVinyl pks

Few figures have been as influential in the development of the acoustic guitar as British folk revival hero Bert Jansch.  His 1965 self-titled debut brought him instant renown among other guitarists, including Jimmy Page, Neil Young, Paul Simon and more.  He continued on as one-fifth of Pentangle and released a litany of stunning albums, both solo and with the likes of John Renbourn.  But when the boundary-pushing guitarist recorded his 1979 album Avocet, he was creating something decidedly

JohnRenbourn UnpentangledTheSixtiesAlbums

Few figures were as instrumental to the British folk music revival as John Renbourn, whose guitar style incorporated influences from Celtic, jazz, pop, R&B, and beyond. As one-fifth of Pentangle, he and his bandmates expanded the possibilities of a folk-infused combo with odd time signatures, lengthy instrumental passages, and a repertoire that spanned decades, genres, and forms.
