Topic: Martin Simpson

Kap54 suggested I post these here for those who haven't heard of Martin Simpson.

Great guitarist, good singer!

If you've got a choice of seeing him live or buying Prodigal Son, go see him live!

If there is no chance of seeing him live buy Prodigal Son!

From that album: Louisiana 1927

Same Album: Granemore Hare

Beautiful cry/call on guitar on this second one!

KajiMa, I can't believe I've never seen this guy til now. I will be checking him out more and no doubt buying something. I better make it a digital copy or my wife will do the usual "another bleedin' CD" song and dance. You have cost me money on this, and I'm delighted. big_smile

Re: Martin Simpson

Hey that guy can play!! Can you really tune while you have a capo on?

Re: Martin Simpson

I noticed he was tuning with the capo to, I wondered the same thing, how is that possible?

Re: Martin Simpson

Try it. It's all about not tightening your capo too much.
