Next up in my Sunday vinyl listening is a compilation album of folk music called "Rave On" from 1974. It was in the stack of inherited records of unknown genre even though I knew already because of the mentions of Steeleye Span and Maddy Prior, just because I didn't want to forget to play it. It's quite fun, and includes SS covering the title track, which is probably most associated with Buddy Holly.

I've put the Steeleye Span albums in the 1970s pop/rock section but maybe I should make a specific folk section instead (which is right now grouped in with classical). There are a lot of records, I bought furniture specifically to hold all these.

My hand holding up the album cover to "Rave On" while the record plays below. The cover is an old sepia photograph of some men, maybe folk musicians, with guitar-like instruments and hand drums.

I have a stack of the inherited records whose genre I couldn’t figure out from the album cover and artist name, so I’m playing them so that they may be shelved appropriately.

This one turns out to be sort of midcentury lounge jazz (not an official genre); Acker Bilk was an English clarinettist. Seems more like evening cocktail music than tea music to me, but it’s no longer 1967.

My hand holding up the album cover to Mr. Acker Bilk’s “London is My Cup of Tea” while the record plays below. The cover shows Bilk wearing a bowler hat (I think) and suit, drinking tea from an oversized cup and saucer. He has a big goatee. A park is behind him. This photographed image is in a steam bubble coming out of a painted teapot.
