Steve Knightley
Positively Folk Street: Dylan, Carthy and Me
Hands On Music
★★★★★
FOLLOWING his recent solo album The Winter Yards and motivated after seeing the recent film A Complete Unknown, Steve Knightley has now taken the opportunity to pay tribute to two of his musical inspirations, Bob Dylan and Martin Carthy.
It’s a fitting combination given that Carthy himself influenced Dylan when he was trying to navigate the British folk scene in the 1960s and this 12-track album alternates between Dylan songs and the traditional English folk songs promoted by Carthy.
New releases from Kneecap, Sam Blasucci, and Juni Habel
New releases from Ninebarrow, Amit Dattani, and Lonan
New releases from The Dreaming Spires, Bruce Springsteen, and Chet Baker
Re-releases from Bobby Wellins/Kenny Wheeler Quintet, Larry Stabbins/Keith Tippet/Louis Moholo-Moholo, and Charles Mingus Quintet
