His 1966 debut for Vanguard, evocatively fusing psych-folk and raga way ahead of its time; also featuring flautist Jeremy Steig and long-time Dylan cohort Bruce Langhorn.
Vinyl from Harte.

Jazz-folk originally issued in 1977 by the BRBQ label out of Bloomington, Indiana; reissued here with extras by Numero.

CSNY-style folk and rock from 1973, Boulder, Colorado, reissued by the Numero offshoot.

Holy moly, June Tabor on ECM. ‘Quercus’, ‘oak’: ‘roots deep in British folk music; leaves and branches reaching upward in jazz-inspired lyrical improvisation.’ With Iain Ballamy and Huw Warren.

Country punk from 1985.

Catherine Hershey and Gilles Poizat performing eight poignant settings of grandad Hershey’s poetry, with traces of Rock-Bottom Robert Wyatt, Shirley Collins, trip-hop, Americana and DIY punk, all melded leanly and atmospherically together.

With Leadbelly, Ramblin’ Thomas, Charley Patton and co.

Quite different to A Wonder Working Stone and Spoils, the ten songs here are ‘sparse, intimate and concise. The focus throughout is on Alasdair’s deft acoustic fingerstyle guitar and his voice. The songs are variously elliptical and gnomic, direct and personal, romantic and tender.’ With sparing, decisive contributions on clarinet and tin whistle — and from Crying Lion.

A treat for those of us who like their Alasdair Roberts straight-up and hardcore. A pointed, deep selection of mainly Scottish folk songs, recorded live in the studio; beautifully sung, with minimal, exquisite accompaniment by acoustic guitar, or sometimes piano. Sexual oppression, Scottishness, political resistance; stray cows, mystical horses, waterbird royalty. Stiff shots of rapture, fighting talk, heartbreak, and tragedy. Terrific.

Pals being Micah Blue Smaldone, Glenn Jones, Michael Gangloff and Nathan Bowles (both of the Black Twig Pickers), and Harmonica Dan. The great ‘Jack Rose’ was hitherto hard-to-get.

Lowdown lap steel and Telecaster collaborations with D. Charles Speer and The Helix, inspired by Link Wray,

An impressive survey of nine LPs — epochal, ringing classics like Cod’ine and Universal Soldier in with her satire, protest and general hippie shit; covers of Joni, Neil Young (with the man himself), Leonard Cohen.
