Chris Harwood - Nice To Meet Miss Christine (2023)

Such an elusive British artist, Christine Harwood was sailing the sea of lone folk singer with a sole album of rare beauty.
Released in 1970 on small British label Birth, Nice To Meet Miss Christine is still an exercise in pure beauty, a tragic magic affair that materialized into thin air and suddenly was gone.
Featuring a who’s who of the British prog and psych-folk scene – the late King Crimson alumni Ian McDonald on sax and flute, drummer extraordinaire Pete York, Nucleus and Jody Grind bass player Roger Sutton, Strawbs guitar player Dave Lambert – the album is more than a miraculous rendition of the (acid) folk revival venturing on more audacious territories, as shown in the rare groove of Wooden Ships.
