Monday, 22.11.2021, running time: 58:40.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights 14 is called The Gentle, Folk ,Autumnal edition. It could also be called The Family, Friends, Acquaintances & Muses Edtion since there are 16 songs by family members, friends, acquaintances and muses as in musicians/singer-songwriters I get inspiration from/inspire me. There are also a few instrumentals with different acoustic string instruments, such as acoustic/classic guitar, banjo, and viola campaniça a tradicional Portuguese 10 steel-string instrument from Vila Verde de Ficalho, Serpa (Alentejo), here played by O Gajo, in a modern approach embedded with our folk tradition. The tone of the show is mellow, covers also have its place, Bill Callahan's cover of Leonard Cohen's So Long Marianne, Isabel Silvestre singing Rui Veloso & Carlos Tê's A Gente Não Lê in a fashion that would lead to believe this is an old Portuguese folk song, yet, it is from the early 80s. Karen Dalton, Tim Kerr, Nuno Prata, Townes Van Zandt and others contribute to a beautiful show.
