Something strange in the wilderness : Troubadourial transmissions from after sundown 2

At the end of the sixties and the start of the seventies, after psychedelia and the rise of the record company, and before the anger of punk, there was a surge in do it yourself record releases. A hotbed of reflective artists producing their own music. Often recorded at home or with no budget for studio retakes, and then releasing it on privately pressed vinyl, it was the embers of an underground home made musical movement. Often tagged these days as Downer Folk, Loner Folk, or Outsider Folk these homemade recording artists had very little in common musically, besides the use of acoustic guitars and heartfelt vocals, but sorrow and heartbreak are an underlying theme.
