<nods> It's interesting to hear Skiffle described as "folk revival" music,
as I also always assumed it sounded like early Beatles.

Apparently skiffle was sort of the punk rock of its day. Not in attitude,
but because it was so easy to play a whole lot of teens started forming bands.

Well, I wandered into RecordTown today, and rooted through their 1.99 bin.
My current onplay cd is from that bin, a band that I had never heard of, but
the name (and it was cheep!) persuaded me to purchase it.
Mike Keneally & Beer for Dolphins. The name of the album is Sluggo! So far
I'm only a couple of songs into it, but I'm really enjoying it. Scott, you
would probably get a real kick out of it.
I don't know how to describe the music exactly...deffinately rock, but the
second sound was a real cool piano theme going, the lyrics are seriously
wacked....I'll describe more later.
Oh, and on the back of the book, it says "For Kevin Gilbert & John Coltrane".
Needless to say, I know who the latter is, but nhave no idea who the former
is.

resp:384 :: No, I wrote that skiffle was important in the formation
of the British folk revival; skiffle has little direct folk music
content itself. But lots of people who started playing skiffle
moved into folk music after the skiffle craze -- which I think lasted
less than two years -- burned itself out.

Still Beer for Dolphins. I like this cd....it's rockish and jazzy, and really
really whacked.

I found the Skiffle 2 CD set at Borders (Aborland, I think, so a
copy might be on shelves downtown). The title is all lowercase
"as good as it gets". It is a 2000 collection from Disky Communications
Europe B. V. Artists listed (in print large enough to read) include
Chris Barber, Johnny Duncan, Lonnie Donegan, The Vipers and Chas
McDevitt.

Steve Earle, "Transcendental Blues." Liked the electric guitar bits
when I heard it at Schoolkids-in-the-Basement last week.

"Sam Mangwana sings Dino Vangu." Revival album of the Congolese rumba
style, says the notes; I thought it was a revival of classic soukous,
but I guess the styles are not far apart.

Nice Spanish Galician folk-rootsy thing. I think the band is called
Piasaxes and the album title is "Galicia en Musica." I seem to be on
a big Spanish kick this week. (Hey, that sounds like a bagpipe on
track 2, jep!)

Ougenweide, SOL. German folk-rock album which Leslie dragged back
from Austria for me two years ago. A little heavy on the synths
and echoes. Includes a version of "Gaudete" which seems to owe a
bit to Steeleye Span; about half the album is drawn from English
and Scottish sources.
