VA - Early Morning Hush, Notes From The UK Folk Underground 1969-1976 [2006]

British Folk revival can be traced back to the likes of Ewan MacColl, Hamish Imlach and the deeply political Scottish '50s Folk scene. It took a seriously non-traditional turn when it was picked up by the new breed of young turks like Davy Graham, Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, who began to turn Soho into a European version of Greenwich Village in the early '60s. By the end of that decade the integration between Folk, Blues, Jazz and all music beyond had created a wild array of new performers including Pentangle, Roy Harper & Mellow Candle. It was still Folk music, all right, but not as anyone knew it. A latter day term for this new generation of the genre is Acid Folk, due to its post-Psychedelic elements. There is most certainly a correlation between this CD and the likes of Noggin The Nog and Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. Castle Music.2006.
