Mocking Bird



Very beautiful track. I listened to Once Again album and it indeed became one of my favourites albums I listened to so far. This band wrote some pretty emotional lyrics.

Somebody mentioned this band in another thread and so I thought I'd check them out. Wow...what a find! First heard "Rock and Roll Star" and was hooked from the start. Every other song I've listened to on YouTube has also impressed me.

Just when you're starting to tire of your music collection, it's awesome to discover a great old band like this for the first time.

^^ I had exactly the same feeling when I first played Gone To Earth LP. They got me instantly.

I have got "Time Honoured Ghosts" on vinyl somewhere hidden away, I havn't played it for a long time though. I think you have inspired me to dig it out Nolo.

 

[Nololob]

^^ I've got that one on vinyl too, but I forgot what my thoughts about this album are. However I played In My Life track you posted and it's a tune!

Song For Dying



Another beauty from Once Again album.

Yesterday I played their third album "And Other Short Stories" as I forgot how it was when I played on vinyl. Another mind-blowing LP, Medicine Man, Someone There You Know and After The Day. Great tunes. I am looking forward to get their first eponymous and fourth Baby James Harvest LPs and have a listen. So far there is no album I dislike... just like Rory Gallagher.

First band that I ever saw live, back in '76 on the "Octoberon" tour.

One of my favorite bands. I still think this was their finest moment:

Barclay James Harvest - Poor Boy Blues; Mill Boys; For No 1 - YouTube

Sorry, not a big fan of forums (I'm an old usenet guy), so I'm not sure how to properly post a vid. =)
