Beast of Burden
Why did this guy write so much about boring folk music? Why didn't he write about yacht disco?

Finally got around to reading this. Even though I already knew quite a lot about many of the artists he writes about, I still found the way he ties it all together pretty mind-blowing.

Obviously, it would be pointless to niggle about personal favourites not getting enough coverage but I was surprised by the fact that he only dedicates three sentences to Roy Harper's Stormcock - particularly given the space he dedicates to discussing the likes of Mr Fox and later-period Steeleye Span.
