Hey man, I'm from Friesland, so I'm your neighbour. - Bob Dylan - Love minus zero/No limit - Sandy Denny & the Strawbs - Nothing else will do - Davey Graham - songs like Leaving blues, his version of Hoochie coochie man, Getting better or I'm ready - Country Joe - Bass strings or Flying high (check out the 1998 versions with the Bevis Frond, it has the same atmosphere but better sound, I really recommend it) - Love - A house is not a motel - Bert Jansch - Promised land - Les Humphries Singers - To my fathers house - Steeleye Span - Lowlands of Holland, well they have a lot of laid back folk rock songs - Magna Carta - Wish it was, Two old friends - Fairport Convention - Autopsy, Matty Groves etc. - Ewan MacColl - Ballad of Accounting - Pentangle - Light flight, Way behind the sun, Sovay I guess you know Scott McKenzie, the Mama's & the Papa's and the Jefferson Airplane songs, so I leave it with this first. Let me hear what you liked most.
