OK - here's another recommendation - Singer/Songwriters at the BBC that immediately precedes the Songwriters' Circle. The first programme has excellent performances from the 70's archive that include Neil Young, James Taylor Nilsson, Joni Mitchell, Joan Armatrading, Sandy Denny and Cat Stevens in their prime. There are some curiosities like Judee Sill. Steve Goodman sings City of New Orleans like it should be sung, and the set ends with Tom Waits, all bizarre contortions, growling vocals and cigarette smoke, delivering a perfect Burma Shave. There is no inane commentary from pop pundits and it's not treated like an exercise in nostalgia or anthropology - they just let the music play, song after song. Recordings are very good of their time. First episode (of four) still available on iPlayer. Next is on BBC4 at 9.15pm on Friday repeated on Saturday at 1am. These are going on to DVD-R and I don't do that lightly!
