EPYSODE 47: "First Utterance" by Comus. GUESTS: Roger Wooten, Bobbie Seagroatt (née Bobbie Watson), John Seagroatt. Prepare to enter the shadowy woods of early ’70s Britain with "First Utterance", the bone-chilling debut from Comus...a band that pushed folk music into terrifying, transcendent new territory. In this epysode we explore the making, meaning, and enduring mystery of this cult classic, featuring exclusive commentary from two original members. From its unsettling lyrics to its wild instrumentation, discover why this album remains one of the most haunting and original LP's of its era. I hope you dig "First Utterance" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com ===LINKS=== Check out Bobbie Seagraott's artwork at her site here: https://bobbieseagroatt.com   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured ( *denotes track is not available on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/678OgPaHlGXKSvfWo2lP5O?si=c8e6e88d1dc5495e *THE MONKS “Black Monk Time” DAVY GRAHAM “She Moved Through The Fair” PENTANGLE “No More My Lord” INCREDIBLE STRING BAND “Three Is A Green Crown” THE AMAZING BLONDEL “Minstrel’s Song” DAVID BOWIE “Unwashed And Somewhat Slightly Dazed” COMUS “Diana” COMUS “The Herald” COMUS “Drip Drip” COMUS “Song To Comus” COMUS “The Bite” COMUS “Bitten” COMUS “The Prisoner” *COMUS “Perpetual Motion” *COMUS “Touch Down” *COMUS “Children Of The Universe” TOYAH “It’s A Mystery” OPETH “The Moor” COMUS “Out Of The Coma” COMUS “The Malgaard Suite” *BOBBIE & JOHN SEAGROATT “Glow” WINGS “Famous Groupies” ??MYSTERY ARTIST?? tune in next week to find out… NEWPORT ELECTRIC “If Wishes Were Horses” ^ that's my band.
