New in the DylanCover.com collection:
Dave Cartwright

Mr. Tambourine Man (3:47)
Don't Think Twice (2:54)
Dave Cartwright
Number 1
EP: Highway Records HWY 6001; 1965 (UK)

The first recordings of UK folksinger Dave Cartwright, then 22 years old. This 5-track, 7", 33-1/3 RPM Mono EP offers pleasant, typical folkie covers of Mr. Tambourine Man and Don't Think Twice, along with Where I'm Bound, Hey Nelly Nelly and Man of Constant Sorrow.
Aside from a few songwriter credits, an internet search did not find much info about Dave. This from the record sleeve:
"A little about Dave: He was born in 1943 at Haselmere, Surrey but soon moved to the Midlands, where in 1964 he began appearing at local Folk Clubs. Apart from Dave's unique style of singing he is also a very competent guitarist, the rich tones of his twelve string guitar blending most effectively with his voice. An appreciative audience expressed the opinion that Dave would "be good on record", and, having heard him ourselves we at Highway soon endorsed that opinion -
The Result, Dave Cartwright No. 1"
Highway Records, Redditch, England
