Ralph McTell is a truly legendary singer/songwriter from England who has been performing for almost 50 years. His style is the traditional folk and American blues. He's an exceptionally talented guitar player, though his aim in his music is not to show off his immense talent, even though his technique is truly world-class.
He plays a lot of blues style guitar and will play solos but the real draw of his music is his unbelievable singing ability and the emotion that comes out when he performs. His songs make you long for being at home and among friends. He'll sing about places he's been and places he'll be going again.
I had the pleasure of seeing him play in London a few years ago, and he told stories between all of his songs and really made the audience feel as if you were talking to an old friend and singing songs and just having a relaxing evening.
Ralph is a talented and experienced performer and knows how to relate to his listeners. I listen to his music at least once a month and am reminded of home. I love folk music and Ralph is one of the best playing and singing it. See this man perform, he is still playing in the UK these days.
