I suppose mine would be Richard Thompson, still producing  new songs although I don't think his style has changed much in recent years but his latest Album Sweet Warrior has some pretty good songs.

Colosseum aren't producing much new but I believe they are still pretty good live.

Woolly Wolstenholme, well, One drop in a dry world was wonderful, Grim a curate's egg, waiting for Caterwauling ( Where does he get these titles from?), but again no a big leap from his older stuff.

The Mcgarrigle Sisters, I like them but they send my family screaming from the room.


Trees -cut down

King Crimson gave up after Disciplie

Jimi Hendrix
Sandy Denny
Nick Drake
The Beatles
all dead alas

Fairport Convention
The Rolling Stones
Partly James Harvests
Pentangle ?

Might as well be

I have to nominate Eric Andersen, although my case is not helped by the
fact that his last couple albums are covers of songs from the sixties.

Eliott Murphy comes close. I doubt he has another "Diamonds By The
Yard" in him, but each new album does make me reconsider the box set I
would compile given the opportunity. That is not a test the Moody Blues
pass, alas.
