    Well, there's Pink Floyd's "Grantchester Meadows"... maybe their "St. Tropez", too.
    EDIT: also their song "Fearless". If you don't know these three songs, and you think you know Pink Floyd... well... maybe you don't know them as well as you think.

    I can think of many other songs, mostly US-derived latter-day folk, that "sound like" Blackbird, but they're not classic rock at all. Try some Patty Larkin (www.pattylarkin.com), for example.


    Come to think of it, listen slowly, deeply, and carefully to the Beatles' own "White Album"... it's a quirky can of worms that may net a few other songs you'd like to include.

    By Blackbird style, I assume you mean more mellow stuff.... here are some songs that come to mind in that ilk :

    Blind Faith - Can't Find My Way Home
    Cat Stevens - Wild World
    CSN(&Y) - Teach Your Children, Wooden Ships, 4+20, Wasted on the Way, Southern Cross, Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Johnny's Garden
    Derek and the Dominoes - Bellbottom Blues

    Assorted songs by :
    Neil Young
    Paul Simon
    Van Morrison
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    ooh, those are all good ones! Lots of Cat Stevens' 1970's output would apply, including e.g., "O Very Young", "Peace Train", "Morning Has Broken", etc.

    Van Morrison... howsabout "Into the Mystic"!?

    Neil Young "The Needle and the Damage Done", "Old Man"

    Now that bobman1235's got me thinking...

    Grateful Dead -- in approximate order of increasing Deadness :-)
    Uncle John's Band
    Ripple
    Box of Rain
    Friend of the Devil
    China Doll
    Stella Blue
    Mountains of the Moon

    (PS I am just a hoot 'n' a holler up I-93 from Everett as I am typing this drivel...)

    Heart - Dog and Butterfly comes to mind that would fit that more mellow 70's genre.

    soulful? Well, maybe you'd like to include Neil Young's (Buffalo Springfield's) "Mr. Soul", too? :-)

    Just say No to Cat Stevens. Not on my Polks, or in my house.

    Yeah, you can't pick your musicians or movie stars or anythign based on political views, unfortunately, or there'd be no one to listen to or watch.
