Jin – 1976 Same (Japan, Private)

B5
B6

This feels like a watercolor painted in pale colors.
What does it mean to .build a world by trimming own color.
Like a heart that gets intense when you see your inner bottom.
I want to enter the world that he is drawn to with his heart.

There is no information about this beautiful record.

Va – Hoedown (Private, Uk)

B1. Geordie - The Wayfarers
B5. Barbara Allen - Ivor Grayson-Smith




I was curious to see the cover, so I did not expect much from the music when I got into the bidding and won . However the result was fine but the beat are considerably up-temp.
I sit at the beer house, and I get to hear a song and dancing.

Hoedown is the name of an American country music dance that dances to fast tempo. it is music made at a club called Imperial College folk song club. The Wayfarers group is a college student group.
Totally four groups have participated in the recording, playing of England Folk Music and American Country Music.

Rick Watson – A3. Candles Burn In The Distance

Rick Watson - The Light Shines On (Ruah Production, Us)


From somewhere in the middle of North Dakota comes this excellent artsy custom of acoustic rock, lonesome folk meditations and rough-hewn out-doorsy rural rock. Nice unrefined bluesy electric guitar graces the latter, while the folk—edged material is delivered with the beauty and sensitivity of early Bruce Cockburn. Often enveloped with a stark solemn presence. Rick plays acoustic and electric guitar and wrote all the twelve titles, including ‘Candles Bum In The Distance’, ‘The Rich Man And Lazarus’, ‘Lady Sleeps With The Light On’, ‘Whistler Of Darkness And Dawn’, ‘Sea Of Mystery’, and ‘Out Of The Storm Into The Sun’. Additional instruments includes bass, fiddle (one song), harmony vocals, and synthesizer (sounding pleasantly trippy on the title track). Remarkable b&w cover design/ graphics. (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott).

------------------------
I expected loner acid Folk music, but overall it is close to rural electric music.
Some folk music is successful in its own way.. It would have been better if he pursued more folk music that reflected his inner self without trying various genres.
