Ralph Mctell

Ralph McTell started playing in London's folk scene in the early 1960s, performing on the streets and drawing from influences like Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. He signed with Transatlantic Records in 1968 and released his debut album 'Eight Frames a Second' that same year. His second album, 'Spiral Staircase,' came out in 1969 and included 'Streets of London,' which became his best-known song.

McTell's music often dealt with social themes, and he recorded more than thirty studio albums over several decades. Some of his other songs include 'The Fairground,' 'Barges,' and 'Hands of Joseph.' He worked with musicians like guitarist George Thomson, bassist Dave Woodhead, and drummer Chris Leslie.
