Billy Joel wrote fantastic songs before he became a commercial sell out

 

[marlowe]

Nick Cave's got loads but here's his version of an old blues classic..

Followed by Mississippi John Hurt's version of the same song. Couldn't be more different...

This is a beautifully haunting song about Lord Franklin's lost expedition that set sail in 1845. The entire expedition of 129 men was lost. The story is ongoing as many expeditions have followed to try and locate the two missing ships. One was discovered as recently as 2016. See wiki link for full story..

This is a brilliant song, and was so pleased to see Pentangle not too long ago at the Dome before Bert Janch died...I've been watching the series 'The Terror' recently, it should be of interest to you.

I would have gone for "Jungleland" myself, but both songs are totally cheese free.

Could of gone for any of these also

Incident on 57th Street
Meeting across the river
Racing in the street
Rosalita (Come out tonight)
Nebraska
Highway Patrolman
Born in the USA
Galveston Bay
Paradise
Matamoros Banks
Outlaw Pete

and a few others

 

[METALMICKY]

The metal masters of story songs i give Iron Maiden's 13 minute interpretation of Coleridge's classic poem The Rime of The Ancient Mariner'.

Can't believe we got this far without this epic!

Thanks, I'll look out for that. I wasn't previously aware of it but i"ve just checked and it has very good reviews.
Was John Renbourn with Pentangle when you saw them? He's also since died.

Yes he was, though just done a quick google and it was 2008 so maybe a bit longer than 'not too long ago'

Enjoy 'The Terror'
