I'd never heard of Steeleye Span, now twice in the same day --https://bradkyle.substack.com/p/tune-tag-53-with-hugh-jones-of-the?publication_id=431981&post_id=146720441&isFreemail=true&r=3jsiyo&triedRedirect=true&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

I save your posts, Reid, even if I don't comment on them. Every one is a little gem. So I for one am glad you make the effort every day.

Your writing is quite wonderful. Are you a music historian in disguise?!!!

Been meaning to mention how much I've been enjoying these.

A local public access station got me into British folk fock. There were these shows about popular music from 1960-1980 and they played Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, etc.

Another song by an English band in a similar vein is "John Barleycorn Must Die" by Traffic.
