Positively Folk Street: Dylan, Carthy and Me
Hands On Music
★★★★★
FOLLOWING his recent solo album The Winter Yards and motivated after seeing the recent film A Complete Unknown, Steve Knightley has now taken the opportunity to pay tribute to two of his musical inspirations, Bob Dylan and Martin Carthy.
It’s a fitting combination given that Carthy himself influenced Dylan when he was trying to navigate the British folk scene in the 1960s and this 12-track album alternates between Dylan songs and the traditional English folk songs promoted by Carthy.
