Music:

  • Fairport Convention “Si Tu Dois Partir” Unhalfbricking (A&M) 1969
  • She & Him “Ridin’ in My Car” Volume Two (Merge) 2010
  • NRBQ “Rocket #9” NRBQ (Columbia) 1969

Notes:

Here’s a nice memory piece on the Fairport cover, which opines that the band’s “first, light-hearted hit offered few clues that they would reinvent English folk music.”

“Who Knows Where the Time Goes” may just be Fairport’s greatest ever song and one of the greatest, you know, ever:

Not sure if She & Him are still a thing, but they’ve made up to Volume 3 so far, with some X-mas moosic, too.
