50. Shirley Collins and Davy Graham, Love Is Pleasin' (1964)



Rest in peace, Davy Graham. Obviously I should've put Anji up here, which is, without doubt, one of the most wonderful things ever put to record. But YouTube's full of young hairy men trying to fingerpick their way through it, so I thought I'd give you this instead. Listen to Shirley Collins' voice, too, and feel your heart melt. Having interviewed her earlier this year, and thought the world of her, I'm thinking of her today.

I played this album last night...its been a while since I gave it a spin (metaphorically speaking) and it really is a beautiful collection of songs.
