Hippy

:lol:

it gets worse pete

i had never heard of him (most people know him as the opening act at woodstock of course) and i went to the cambridge folk festival (my home town) in 1975 or 76 and my friend dragged me along to see him (twice) doing acoustic sets

he was absolutely brilliant, and i've loved his stuff since (particularly, i really like his version of going back to my roots) - he has a great "soul" voice

i think his version of i can't make it anymore is superior to spyder turner

please don't tell anyone i went to a folk festival :thumbsup:

That recent Glastonbury movie features quite a long performance by Havens.

he sang 'i can't make it anymore' at woodstock. sure the 7" is on Verve Folkways label not Forecast?

'Goin back to my roots' is an excellent version.

cheers Sutty

def on folksway , similar setup to the verve bluesway thing

its the orig recorded version, what remember reading is gordon lightfoot wrote it and used to perform it regular in NY folk type bars but never recorded it

that ritchie h's lp version of roots has recently been re-mixed and released yeah? , sure was this year?

it was reissued on a 12" but it was the lp version. not aware of any remixes recently but you never know...

have to smile, as think stumbled acros the 12 when looking for lp, sure listened to clip and thought it was re-done and think the listing wording sort of suggested it, so sacked it and went back to lp search, ahh well, never trust my own ears biggrin.gif
