Explain please? If you're saying that 'folk' = 'trad', then OK, that leaves out the Dylan songs they did.
However, The Byrds did a rock version of
- Bells of Rhymney on their first album (1965)
-Oh! Susannah on their Turn,Turn,Turn album (1966)
-Wild Mountain Thyme on their Fifth Dimension album (1966)
Early British examples of folk rock are:- Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers (beatles) - My Bonnie (1961) Searchers - where have all the flowers gone? (1963) Animals - House of the rising sun (1964) All many years before Fairport. From Rob Well then we cannot exclude "Louis, Louis" can we?  Perhaps we should start a new thread before being slapped with the OT card ... |

Ok, back on topic.
Not sure about the album cover artwork, but then again what do I know about art (speaking as a"rude mechanical and a Mancuian to boot!)
The track listing looks interesting and I for one am looking forward to hearing it and seeing the chaps on tour.

Get to the store at opening time, get wristband. Go to work, apologise for lateness - puncture?
They should be available just after store opening - but I suspect that you won't need to get there that early. Instead, go to work early, pop over in an extended lunch break, and see you there in the evening!
HANG ON JUST A MINUTE!
Isn't 12th Feb in the middle of the tour?
Yes, of course it is - if you check the tour dates, they're taking every Monday 'off'....it's just that this particular Monday, they've chosen to have some fun!  |

Ah, some fun is it?  Cool! So not the tour set then? Well, obviously not, more stuff off the new album, less of the other stuff I'd guess. Even better, seeing as I won't see them until St Albans in May. It's still a long way to Lincoln for the next proper gig though. |

Yup....I would expect in excess of half-a-sdozen off the new album, in a sort of acoustic setting. A PA, but no amps....might even get the whole album too, if we're lucky! |

No Date for the Peggy & PJ date yet announced.
The FC one is released Feb 12th. I would imagine that any stock available prior to that date will be destined for the tour merch stand. Lack of office personnel (who are preparing to tour in just over a week) the likely explanation of a pre-order facility on the FC website.
If you really need to pre-order, I guess Amazon & the like are your best bets.

You'll have to wait until they load it on the website - but it may not be until Feb 12th.

Not unpleasant but doesn't seem to be a strong track for an opening track of a CD. Will "listen again" again later. Lots of historical references & stylistic pastiches (Intentional clearly)

Then again, Over The Next Hill was a pretty dull track by FC's standards, and the women of the house love it. Maybe FC have just moved from being a "manly" band to a "ladylike" band. Commercially canny, but women don't have beards (not the ones I know anyway), and beards equal beer consumption, and beer consumption equals good venue profits... I'm sure there was a point to my post |
