专辑简介
Having delved into the murky history of folk music to produce the excellent Folk Is Not A Four Letter Word compilation, Andy Votel here does the same for Welsh-language music originally released on the pioneering Sain label in the 1970s, with assistance from Dom Thomas and Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys. Most of Welsh Rare Beat's 25 songs seem to be about druids, ancient kings or characters from the Mabinogi myths, performed by a motley assortment radical folksters, musical virtuosos and visionaries - although much of that detail would be lost on non-Welsh speakers, were it not for some lovingly annotated liner notes featuring anecdotes from the scene plus a historical overview of Welsh pop by Rhys. Particular highlights comes from Y Tebot Piws' surreal beats on 'Mae Rhywyn Wedi Dwyn Fy Nhrwyn', and Heather Jones' 'Penhryn Gwyn'. Welsh Rare Beat is also notable for the inclusion of the Hendrix-inspired 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau', performed by acclaimed guitarist Tich Gwilym who sadly died in a house fire in Cardiff in June. Finders Keepers. 2005.
