Extended Feature #1: The Facebook 10-day Album Cover Challenge.
Extended Feature #2: Songs of Townes Van Zandt
Lots of great folk-rooted and folk-branched music on Saturday Morning this week. The first extended feature will be songs from each of my choices from the Facebook 10-day Album Cover Challenge. The second extended feature will be Songs of Townes Van Zandt (1944-1997) as performed by Townes and many other artists. Visit the Folk Roots/Folk Branches blog. http://frfb.blogspot.com

| The next 10 songs were taken from the albums I chose for the 10-day Facebook Album Cover Challenge. I was in high school from 1967 to 1971 and my choices were all LPs that I bought when they were newly released back then and that I still listen to a half-century – or almost a half-century – later. See the choices on the Folk Roots/Folk Branches blog. https://frfb.blogspot.ca/2018/05/the-facebook-10-day-album-cover.html |
