When I track my order, the description says “two exclusive tracks not available on previous releases for unique listening”. Does anyone know if that is true or what those tracks are?

"Let the Narcissist Have His Day" - Full song on my my channel.

White ‘64 Tempest is a deeply reflective, acoustic-driven folk track that wraps the listener in a melancholic, late-night atmosphere. With its raw, weary vocals and intimate storytelling, the song was created for those who love authentic Americana.

I’m an independent musician and creator of the Acoustic Crossroads project, dedicated to living traditional repertoires (Celtic, Irish, Bluegrass, and French-Canadian) on acoustic mandolin.

My artistic focus is 100% handmade, organic sound—no synthetic shortcuts, just the raw resonance of wood and driving acoustic picking.

I first heard this group when I was 11 or 12....and fell in love with it. Marais and Miranda Go Native. Anybody familiar with them, and know if any of their albums---especially this one---have been digitalized?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77iTdMUAm4Q&list=PLvqqjRmXglGjRRG4rOrZN7eloZNFnCUYK&ind

About 1-2 years ago I stumbled across a video of this blues or folk artist performing, I believe it was from the 40's. The guy was older, black, fairly large, his guitar looked small in his hands. He sat down and started playing a song, he had this really cool rhythmic technique with his strumming hand on the guitar, I don't remember if he was singing, I was more focused on the guitar because I'm a guitar player myself and I was totally enamored by his playing. I don't believe he had a backing band in the video but I could be wrong about that. The video and audio were very good quality for the time.

If anyone can help me find the video or give suggestions as to who it may have been I would greatly appreciate it.

Update: u/jaundicylicks figured it out, the artist was Lightning Hopkins and this was the video:

Also my description of him was a little inaccurate but my memory isn't that great.

Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster 👋

I'm currently working on a feature about Fairport Convention's Babbacombe Lee for the November issue of my magazine, TrueResAudio.

I've also been fortunate enough to get the opportunity to send a few questions to the band about the making of the album (I'm super excited about that!)

And I'm curious: how do you guys feel about this record?

I've always found it fascinating. It's so much different from much of Fairport's other work. It's also been named the first folk rock opera, a label I find very accurate.

It's quite complex musically. A bit amusing (perhaps in a morbid way) lyrically.... Great record overall.

Any particular memories or thoughts about it?

Does this fit into indie/folk or would you classify it as something else? Thanks!

hey there! I wrote and self recorded this wholesome tune. It’s a nice prosocial, 70s kind of folk troubadour song about going out and making some buddies. I hope you enjoy it.

Was havin a bad day, so I decided to cover this.

"Waltz of the Little Girls" French traditional melody played by 7 musicians Guitar, Accordion, Hammered Dulcimer, Penny Whistle, Cello, Mandolin & Irish Bodhran

In this new live session from the Acoustic Crossroads project, I took on José Feliciano’s holiday standard "Feliz Navidad" in a completely solo acoustic arrangement.

The challenge here was to capture the driving rhythmic bounce and festive spirit while keeping the tone grounded in traditional acoustic craftsmanship: clean plectrum attack, dynamic right-hand rhythm, and the natural resonance of aged tonewood. Recorded purely acoustic—no pickups, no synthetic processing.
