(April 2026) Episode 717 is THE SEEKERS, a folk quartet from Australia that had a moment in the sun in the mid-1960s with hits in the UK and U.S. It’s mostly a straight-backed chair folk style, but some purists thought it was too pop. They also hung out with Paul Simon in his London days. Their style didn’t survive the 1960s, and they reformed in the 1970s with a groovier sound. It’s OK but I get bored with this kind of folk easily.
