I'm glad you are enjoying the blog, and hope that the recent turn towards more popfolk has been okay for you and the other readers you've sent my way. I plan to return to the full breadth of folk possibility soon, I swear, just after the entry I'm finishing up this evening.
As for House Carpenter: Since I posted the original entry, I've had a fan of the blog send along the Dylan cover, and I just today found a Pentangle album at the local library that claims to have another version of the song on it (the album is 1969's Basket of Light, if that rings a bell).
I've already got an odd post going up for this sunday, and am expecting a few things in the mail over the next few days which will probably drive subsequent posts; I'm also determined to post a few more features on actual folk ARTISTS over the next few weeks. But eventually, I'll be putting up another (Re)Covered entry as things fall through the cracks, and I'll put whatever I've found by then.
Wanna have some fun? How about I send you the tracks via email, you write a sentence about each, and I'll use those sentences as a "guest post" for that future (Re)Covered entry? And in the meanwhile, you can keep trying to track down other versions for that same post?
If you're interested, email me at boyhowdy [at] gmail [dot] com, and I'll send the tracks...assuming the Pentangle one isn't too scratched to play, of course (library tracks can be iffy).
