Songs of Love and Hate — 1971

A stark, intense peak of literary folk, home to 'Famous Blue Raincoat'. Dark and beautiful. One of his best. A 1971 record that fills in the story between the landmarks.

On vinyl: Well-pressed originals still surface at reasonable prices; modern reissues are a safe bet if you want new.
