Playlist - This week and last
Last week, in LIS 415, I played music from several albums of The Seldom Scene, a Maryland-based bluegrass band. Few of the original members are in the band currently, but the albums from which I selected represent the Seldom Scene at their zenith. More at Wikipedia. This week I am playing The Oyster Band, based in Kent (England). We have followed this band since their beginnings as Fiddler's Dram, and hosted them on our living room floor in the days when they had no money. Raucous but intelligent, fine musicians, and with a fervent fan base, they do a great live show. Their home page and Wikipedia will tell you more. I was planning on adding a few cuts from the blessed Richard Thompson, but I only have them on my iPod.
