The Front Yard (Thursday 14th July 2022)

A quickie blip from the garden to report that the red-hot poker primula (aka Chinese pagoda primula) has unlooped itself after Tuesday's blip and is now standing up straight.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Marianne Faithfull - North Country Maid (recorded 30 September 1965 and 12 October 1965, Decca Studios, West Hampstead)
Marianne Faithfull was indulged by her record company by releasing her first two albums on the same day. One, self-titled, was quite a commercial offering of the kind found on her hit singles, the other, Come My Way, was closer to her heart - traditional folk material starkly accompanied by acoustic guitar, and that was the one I bought as a teenager. It did well enough for a third album, North Country Maid, to follow in a similar vein, but with an increased personnel that included Jon Mark (guitar and harmonica), future Rolling Stone Mick Taylor on guitar and Big Jim Sullivan on sitar. A fourth album, Loveinamist, fused elements from both approaches and included a couple of past singles (Yesterday and This Little Bird). I have just bought a 2CD package including the latter two albums, and have played the first, from which this is the title track.
It is based on a bawdy Victorian ballad called Quodling's Delight, published in Queen Elizabeth's Virginial Book. It had been recorded by Anne Briggs in 1963.
