Live Folk And Folk Rock Albums Of The 2000s
Folk music is hard to define. Wikipedia really struggles but does identify some characteristics for folk or traditional music:
It was transmitted through an oral tradition.
The music was often related to national culture.
They commemorate historical and personal events.
The songs have been performed, by custom, over a long period of time.
There can be a fusion of cultures as people with different background mix together.
There was a significant revival in the interest in folk music after World war 2 creating what some people call contemporary folk music. This was originally acoustic based but from the mid 1960s onwards with The Byrds and Bob Dylan, it was electrified to create folk rock.

Past Times With Good Company is the first live album by Blackmore’s Night.
It was recorded in Groningen in the Netherlands in May 2002.
Those who only know Ritchie Blackmore from his time with deep Purple and Rainbow will be shocked to learn that he now plays folk music with singer Candice Night. You’ll be less surprised to learn that he does it very well.

Bruce Springsteen Live In Dublin 2006
Bruce Springsteen with The Sessions Band Live in Dublin is a two CD (and optionally a DVD) of concert performances recorded over three nights in Dublin in November 2006. Previously the band had been billed as the Seeger Sessions Band but that had caused early parts of the tour to be poorly attended.
That’s a great shame because anyone who comes to this album with an open mind will want to have had the chance to join in the fun personally. That’s my warning that in no way is this a traditional Springsteen album.
In fact, it’s almost as if this album has been beamed in from a parallel universe where Springsteen didn’t record Born To Run, Darkness, The River and Born In The USA but continued the inspiration of his first two albums with a deep interest in folk and jazz influenced music.
This has opened my eyes. It seems that I was very blinkered about Springsteen. Anything between 1974 and 1978 is fantastic and essential. The rest ranges from very good to OK. Bruce with the E Street Band is better than without.
Listening to this album time and time tells me that I was wrong and I should pay more attention.
Love The Forever Changes Concert 2003
The Forever Changes Concert is a live album by Arthur Lee and Love recorded in London in January 2003 where the classic album Forever Changes was played.
It has been reissued with extra tracks which helps to give a more comprehensive experience of Love as a band.
Recording a classic album like Forever Changes in its entirety is a risky business. Van Morrison did it with Astral Weeks and he pulled it off. So does Arthur Lee and the latest version of Love.
