This is the second chapter in our series exploring the moment folk and singer‑songwriter traditions were wired straight into the mains. This one picks up the voltage enhanced thrills where the first one left off as titans like Richard Thompson, Neil Young and Fotheringay spark against modern torch‑bearers from The Weather Station to Frazey Ford, with cult heroes Fred Neil and Terry Callier adding their own crackle to the mix. As Dylan might’ve put it, get f*&%in’ loud.
