To me this is the apex of commitment and flow, to produce such a wonderful sense of fluidity. Those sounds conjure such contrasting imagery spanning the folk history of the US and America. His music is to me a true UK national treasure, the way he channels traditional ballads with such craft is so distinctive
Begins with: Pretty Saro/ Long Steel Rail (traditional, instrumentals); I Forgot Them Blues (I'm guessing at the title?); A Strange Affair (a Richard and Linda Thompson song); Spoonful (slide guitar blues, purportedly credited to Willie Dixon); Boots of Spanish Leather ( Bob Dylan); unknown traditional song [7 Yellow Gypsies]; unknown instrumental [the Week before Easter/Rose of Allendale]. Thanks to the RUclips who gave me the titles for the last two....
I hope this helps....I have no idea how to add time stamps but these are the tunes in order 😊 Donal Og/My Generous Lover Lord Jamie Douglas Long Steel Rail Forgotten The Blues Strange Affair Spoonful Boots of Spanish Leather Seven Yellow Gypsies The Week Before Easter/ Rose of Allendale
@@stuartf1837 , time stamps can be added to the comments by noting the time that individual songs begin, writing them down, and entering the times manually into the comment field in minutes and seconds (or hours, minutes, seconds if its a long concert). Some, but not all, channels have the comments section configured so that there is a button on the righthand edge of the comment box orwindow will you that will automatically add the time stamp for whenever you've paused the recording into the comments, by touching that button, but that app doesn't seem to be engaged for this particular channel.....if you see a little window that looks something like 0 0 : 0 0, that's what I'm referring to.
Before Martin plays “Long Steel Rail” on this, he also plays the Scots ballad “Waly, Waly”, which he returned to, and sang, on his 2013 album “Vagrant Stanzas”.

I've learned more from studying Simpson's work than all other guitarists combined in the last 30 years.
