One of the band’s a discovered by ferreting through my father’s CD collection was Cordelia’s Dad. A US folk/rock/punk group largely inspired by the Shape Note and Sacred Harp traditions of the US (they share members with the excellent Northampton Harmony Shape Note quartet).
They’ve dug up some vintage footage from 1996 with them in full on rock mode (they later moved to a fully acoustic style before recombining both strands):
Tim Eriksen, their singer and guitarist also has a solo career. Here he is singing a song from the Cordelia’s Dad album ‘How Can I Sleep?’.
