Named after the Fairport Convention song, Crazy Man Michael takes such classic English narrative songwriting as a touchstone and adds a literate, romantic edge that encompasses folk traditions from Bert Jansch to Iron & Wine. Using almost entirely acoustic instrumentation, 'The Green Light' loosely takes F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby' as its emotional inspiration. The 9 songs collected here bring to mind the passion of 1960s folk clubs, the joy and hurt of relationships and the paradoxes inherent in living and loving. It is intelligent, subtly yet openly political and unafraid to be emotionally raw; searching, sensitive, weather-beaten but always hopeful. In short, a very special record.:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-4617955-1370099464-4599.jpeg.jpg){kind=link}
