Meic Stevens – Rain In The Leaves (2006)

This haunting collection proves once and for all why Meic Stevens is so often called ‘the Welsh Bob Dylan’. As well as gathering for the first time the ultra-rare EPs he recorded between 1967 and 1970 (Mike Stevens, Rhif 2, Mwg and Meic Stevens), the package comes complete with both sides of his 1965 debut single, detailed sleevenotes, rare photographs and an introduction by the man himself, making it an essential purchase for all fans of acid folk and psychedelia.-Sunbeam Records-
“A legendary folksinger who’s been called ‘the Welsh Dylan’, in the late 60s he recorded a series of ultra-rare Welsh-language psych-folk EPs.” – The Tapestry Of Delights
“The psych-folk singer and guitarist is often referred to as the Welsh Dylan, and compared favourably with fellow astral-travellers like Syd Barrett. He continues to perform in Wales, where he is treated as a national hero” – (allmusic.com)

    @Dan Straen

    You have me at a disadvantage, sir.

    I posted the link because I thought people might be interested; I certainly wasn’t taking any moral high ground.
