If you like the Levellers, also check
Oysterband (somewhat more folky and less down-to-earth than the levs,
IMHO) http://www.oysterband.co.uk
New Model Army (even better than the levs, IMVHO)
http://www.newmodelarmy.org
The Men They Couldn't Hang (somewhere in between).
Skyclad - heavy metal meets folk, with lots of witty lyrics.
Why is it that bands with good lyrics more often happen to have a
violinist? Or is that my taste?
