We don't really have a thread for such requests, so it might be best just leaving it in here.
Ok cool, thanks

Van Morrison - Purple Heather








Van Morrison - The Great Deception







A great track inspired by Van's interest in Buddhism, chock-full of Zen koans and proverbs:

Van Morrison - Enlightenment



Genius.




Van Morrison - Queen Of The Slipstream







A lovely little track dedicated to the lovely, late, great philosopher Alan Watts:

Van Morrison - Alan Watts Blues







Seems criminal to mention Alan watts without posting a vid of his, so here we are:

The Mind - Alan Watts

Do you know Shawn Phillips' music, Mr.Charlie? I've only heard a few songs, but they seem to have a spiritual quality about them:

Welcome to MB, Evangelion !

Yes, that's a nice song, by two guys I've never heard of; thanks for posting it. I can't make out all the words, so I'm going to go back and listen to it again...

In the meantime, here's something very different from one of the big names -and big voices- of Bulgarian folk music, Yanka Rupkina:-

Thanks,

He's a great artist, I love his music, you should check him out. The lyrics are incredible.

This evening I'm downloading some music by Krauka - a Danish band who have the kind of sound I like; homemade, a little rough around the edges and with lyrics which are incomprehensible to me. Not sure if this video is doing them any favours though :-

I strongly recommend Faun to people who love folk music as I do.

Abalone Dots played a concert in my area on Thursday and I was happy that I got to see them. Although I have posted them in this thread before, I might as well post them again since they were amazing live (haven't seen so many traditional keyharps played in bands). They said they were next going to play some concerts in Spain and the U.S. so maybe they are on their way to your neighborhood soon.
