Friends, Has no one on this list yet picked up on the Hank Dogs ? (Apart from slagging off their name) They are a South London-based band who music is a mix between late-60s Island folk (ie Drake/Martyn) and Texas s/s like Townes, and John Hiatt. An acoustic guitar player and two female voices. Fabulous beyond measure. English pantheistic stuff. Their album "Bareback' from Ryko was the best album of last year that wasn't recorded by Lucinda Williams. It's a staggering collection of songs. They are the first English band signed by Joe Boyd for Hannibel since god know when. They are supporting Baez on some shows in the States in Feb. You should definitely go and see them.They're also doing SXSW. BTW has anybody else heard John Wesley Harding's album of Nic Jones' songs. I can't believe how well he's carried it off.
