Some music moves me and I've no idea why, RT's work always does - beutiful work straight from the soul.
I love Richard Thompson's singing and playing, although I haven't got very much of his stuff.
This is going to sound a bit hippy-dippy, but I wonder sometimes if we feel a sort of tribal/"race memory" connection with British/Celtic traditional music? It just sounds so
right somehow. Not that I actually listen to it much.
By the same token, I don't feel any connection at all with the "Americana" music mentioned on Horsehead's thread, it leaves me completely cold. But lots of you guys seem to like it, when according to my hypothesis it should only appeal to Americans. There goes that theory then :roll: .
