Early Morning Hush - More British Acid Folk (Various). CD. (Castle - CMQCD1265) A second helping of acid folk in its myriad, mystical and manifold forms from that great compiler and archivist of Britain's heritage past, Bob Stanley. Artists range from those well known to the public at large (Donovan, Pentangle, John Renbourn, Roy Harper, Steeleye Span) across more traditional artists respected in their field (Shirley Collins, Sweeney's Men, Anne Briggs) to artists familiar to regular freak punters (Mellow Candle, Mr Fox, Dando Shaft, Steve Tilston, Duncan Browne, Keith Christmas) and utter obscurities from the farthest-flung flodden fielde (Loudest Whisper, Shide And Acorn, Midwinter, Green Man, Stone Angel). As Stanley points out, these artists echo not so much the purist folk tradition (even the venerable Ms Collins is backed by electric musicians). Some 30 years on, the world might finally just be ready for this kinda trip- but please resist the impulse to congregate in large groups near stone circles shouting 'Ley', otherwise you KNOW what will happen. . .
