Great album that. Was that the one recorded in a hotel room?

Sounds like it alright,

very good sound though..... and the songs are great.

I think it's in the liner notes. Just himself on a stool about 14 floors up. I think there's only a fiddle on it apart from Larry Jon.

He reminds me of both ted Hawkins and rick Rubin era Johnny Cash rolled into one.

Have you heard other stuff by him?

I think I have another early one by him somewhere... he's on Heartworn Highways too as a young(er) fella.

Yes it really does.I didn't know what to expect and was quite surprised.

Another trip down the old lane. Original price sticker still hanging in there (2.85 punt!). Not surprised how bad it sounds. Maybe I need a Dansette ;-)



1974

Well I can't put this in electronica ....

I unearthed this gem at the weekend from my "backroom collection".
1966 vintage I believe.
Giving it a spin tonight. See what memories come flooding back.

Wouldn't get that from a download !
