Sally Barker And The Rhythm

Folk Festival Leofels, Germany
15-Aug-1993 (only a small part of the show)
Label: none
Sound quality: very rough, hissy and sometimes distant audience tape (chatting included) / only for completists - I warned you
Lineage: Unknown master tapes (recorded with cheap SONY Walkman, no external mike) > tape copy on SONY UXS 90 (1993) > audacity (10/(2012)
Pitch corrected version!

Now this IS rare! The Festival at Leofels has always been something special for the music-lovers in the South of
Germany. I never missed a day. Unfortunately it is no more.
Starting in the mid-seventies as a pure Folk Festival it soon evolved its repertoire to Folk, Worldmusic, Blues,
Comedy, Rock, Classical Music, Jazz, Gospel and Soul.
After my release of the 1997 Leofels shows on Dime I did a little research on older tapes and finally found three old
ones from the 1993 festival in my vault. This here is number one. I also found short pieces of Peter Kirtley's and
Anne Wylie's concerts on other tapes. They will follow later.
Like the 1997 soundboards these recordings were also done by my own self but I had totally forgotten about them
since the quality wasn't really good and they were only intended as a personal memory of a very fine festival.
I listened to the first tape yesterday and thought, well the sound isn't that bad ... and the music is just wonderful!

Since I think you may be interested not in all the different styles and bands I decided to upload this tape divided into
small portions. If you download all 7 parts you will get the full 90 minutes I have.

So here it is.

New to DIME! Never ever shared anywhere else before!

anymore.

Sally Barker & The Rhythm
Sally Barker ist die wohl vielversprechendste Liedermacherin in der englischen Musikszene.
Ihre Musik ist eine interessante Mischung aus Folkrock, Jazz und Blues; inspiriert durch ihre musikalischen Vorbilder Joni Mitchell, Joan

Armatrading und Rickie Lee Jones, jedoch nie imitierend sondern immer eigenwillig und kreativ.
Sally Barker ?berzeugt mit ihrer stimmlichen und stilistischen Spannweite von jazzigen Scat-Vocals ?ber knurrenden Blues und

aggressivem Rock bis hin zum melancholischen Folk.
Hinzu kommt, da? ihre Band, bestehend aus Gitarrist Martin Ansell, Bassist Boris Carlin und Schlagzeuger Les Sampson erstklassig ist

und jeder f?r sich ein musikalischer Genu? ist. (c) 1993
