Autumn is on its way to the desert, so I rounded up five Britfolk gems from Pentangle, Fairport Convention, John Martyn, Joan Shelley, & Nick Drake to hasten on the fall.
Plus: a vintage interview with Joe Boyd on Nick Drake's work.

This is the other unsettling folk horror film we need to slide into the Britfolk Unholy Trinity because to be frank, Witchfinder General is a bit too hammy.

Dean McPhee's latest LP leans into a bass-heavy, dub-infused sound, while still keeping one foot in ancient britfolk zones. Dank Albion?! Great stuff.

From The Witchwood, like Span’s Please To See The King, should be a must-have standard that you pick up when you get Britfolk curious alongside Nick Drake and Liege and Lief. They might even be the best ones.

A band that never managed to connect here in the states. If you like your folk rock heavy on the folk and very, very British indeed, then you should give this a listen.

Ted Lucas. Who is he? Sounds like he listened to Catch A Fire but rather than saying "I'll paste a reggae rhythm under everything" he took the melodies to heart instead.
Checked his "Love And Peace Raga," and it sounds not like reggae but like instrumental Britfolk extended to psychedelic length.

Pictures of Starving Children Help Sell Records? Absolutely fantastic. And English Rebel Songs is genuinely one of the best Britfolk albums of the last century.

My musical taste is varied and, per some of my friends, completely nonsensical. Americana, trad Britfolk, pop, rock, progressive, etc., etc!

Sandy Denny dejó atrás a Fairport Convention y navegó por su cuenta. The North Star Grassman and the Ravens fue su brújula: un disco de mar, duelo y belleza serena donde el folk británico encontró una nueva voz al norte del viento.
