VARIOUS Across The Great Divide - Getting It Together In The
Country 1968-74 (2019 UK 64-track 3-CD compilation set,
showcasing British groups from the era that took their cue from
US acts [The Band’s rootsy country/soul/R&B stew, The Byrds’
move into country-rock & Crosby Stills & Nash’s intricate
harmonies & acoustic-led instrumentation], when numerous
British bands – Fairport Convention, Traffic, Brinsley Schwarz,
Bronco, Heron etc - began to live communally, retiring to remote
farmhouses & country cottages to write, rehearse & record in
splendid isolation. Experience this fascinating post-Dylan wave of
back-to-the-land singer/songwriters & a clutch of righteously
obscure rural rockers whose music failed to find an outlet at the
time. Comes housed in a clamshell box containing a 44-page
booklet)
