Separate Paths Together (Grapefruit)
This wonderfully eclectic three-disc set focuses on the British singer-songwriter scene during the post-Dylan, pre-punk era, and the 67 tracks range from hit singles to obscure album tracks. KevinCoyne, Kevin Ayers and Michael Chapman represent themore progressivewing, but tracks bymore pop-orientated artists such as Gilbert O’Sullivan, Peter Skellern and Leo Sayer do not sound out of place here – a quality song is a quality song, after all, Also featured are such luminaries as Al Stewart, Richard Thompson, Bert Jansch and the late, great Gerry Rafferty.
