Here's the next in my long series of Robyn Hitchcock doing acoustic covers. All the songs are from 2011 this time.
2011 was a particularly prolific year for Hitchcock in terms of acoustic covers, because he went on tour with Joe Boyd, a producer who worked with Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, the Incredible String Band, and many other musicians. Boyd did sing songs himself, but he'd tell stories of his interactions with those musicians, and Hitchcock would play covers of their music. A majority of the songs here are from those Boyd - Hitchcock concerts.
In terms of sound quality and album length, it's basically the same as the earlier albums in this series. None of the songs have been officially released, but that's also par for the course for this series as well.
Here's a list of the original artists:
01 Masters of War - Bob Dylan
02 Way Back in the 1960s - Incredible String Band
03 Mr. Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan
04 I Can Hear the Grass Grow - Move
05 Chinese White - Incredible String Band
06 Bike - Pink Floyd
07 River Man - Nick Drake
08 To the Aisle - Five Satins
09 Eight Miles High - Byrds
10 Tomorrow Never Knows - Beatles
11 Oh Yeah - Robyn Hitchcock
12 Terrapin - Syd Barrett

The cover art photo comes from an August 2011 concert. The purple lighting really looked like that, so it was a natural for me to choose purple for the text too.
