New #review today: "The first CD documents Irish #FolkRock band #Horslips’ earliest BBC recordings from 1973 and 1974, when their current album was The Táin, the first being a Radio 1 In Concert from February ‘74 featuring ten tracks, mostly from that album." #ExposeOnline #ClassicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/horslips-at-the-bbc-3.html

#nowplaying This is a quite an odd record. Basically #pagan #folk with weird bits of storytelling in between, odd #prog rock and #electronics and strange sound effects. Kind of like an English version of #horslips at their silliest. And yes that is #Colchester Castle on the sleeve. #vinyl #weirdrecords

Homesick
"Don't know how long I've been away
It's hard to say when it's the time to go
Just when you feel your dues are paid
You got it made, there's nothing left to show
Outside my room a light is flashing
So the night can never gain a hold
And in the language that the stranger
Doesn't know he's often easy rolled

And though I'm finding it hard to smile
I get the feeling that in a while
It's alright
I was feeling kind of homesick
But that's alright
It's alright
I was feeling kind of homesick
But that's alright

Chances are for takin'
Fortune'll smile on the boldest one
Don't feel forsaken
Keep on believing your time will come
And you'll see it through

Don't know how long I'vе been away
It's hard to say when it's the time to go
Just when you feel your dues are paid
You got it made, there's nothing left to show
Outside my room a light is flashing
So the night can never gain a hold
And in the language that the stranger
Doesn't know he's often easy rolled

And though I'm finding it hard to smile
I get the feeling that in a while
It's alright
I was feeling kind of homesick
But that's alright"

I love these old videos of live performances by one of my favorite bands, Horslips. Yeah, I know, odd name, but great music! The band members are so young and so thin back in those days. Here's Mad Pat from 1975.

Rest in Peace and in Music, Johnny Fean. You played a mean guitar, sir.
