The UK is churning out some great new folk-rock bands. My current favorite is Manchester-based The Travelling Band. They were winners of the Glastonbury New Talent competition in 2008. Their debut album, “Under The Pavement”, can be best described as country-folk pop. I can’t totally place who they sound like, but Pete Greenwood, Devendra Banhart , Blue Mountain and Tom Petty come to mind.
