Whether or not
he'd hit the truth
I will take it to my grave
But when I rub my chin
I think of him
That was a pretty close shave

Ralph McTell, 20th century

An Indian man wearing a full-length bright blue shirt and blue check-patterned lungi gets a close shave on the side of the road from a barefooted friend in a white shirt and lungi with a cream-coloured towel wrapped over the head. In the background, sitting on some steps, a bearded man with a pale green shawl over his shoulders looks on. The full lyrics to Ralph McTell's song are at https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ralphmctell/closeshave.html Post Office Road, Ramana Nagar, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Spiral Staircase - Ralph McTell
Always thought that his smooth, melancholy but comforting voice shouldn't really suit Folk & Blues but somehow it does. Great songwriter and storyteller which was the most important thing. Very Good Album

#RalphMcTell war mir in erster Linie durch seinen Song "Streets of London" bekannt. Das 1972er Album #NotTillTomorrow des englischen Folkmusikers gefällt mir auch sehr gut. #Folk #SingerSongwriter

And say for you that the sun don't shine?

Let me take you by the hand and

Lead you through the streets of London

I’ll show you something to make you change your mind”

I was always aware of Ralph McTell, hard not to be, but only started seriously listening and collecting after seeing his great friendship with Bert Jansch. Bert’s judgement can’t be questioned, so I dived in. Not everything hits home, but what does is very good indeed. #RalphMcTell #folk #vinyl

From the same stable as Jansch and Renbourn, Ralph McTell was huge in the UK folk scene. This album, Right Side Up, is reasonably early on in his discography, and is notable for covering John Martyn’s ‘May You Never’. Martyn also plays guitar on ‘River Rising’.
