Dear Heather is in recess. I only ever got into the title track and the Villanelle. I will return to it in the New Year.
I am playing lots of Jackie Leven, and, boy, there are lots. This superb Celtic folk singer is a prolific producer of music. His weakness is a tendency towards over-sentimentality or even mawkishness. But his strengths are endless. I was recommended him by Big Al on the LC newsgroup. I am listening mostly to his CD "Creatures of Light and Darkness". Track 2, Exit Wound is superb but has, I originally thought, the awful repeat line "if you could look inside my heart, you'd see a body without a soul" I thought Jackie must have been visiting the allpoetry site or buying Hallmark until I read the "sleeve notes" and discovered these were the words of Queen Elizabeth 1in a letter to the mother of the Duke of Anjou on hearing of his death. So, all is forgiven. TRY HIM.
I will be retrieving my Kevin Coyne music soon. Kevin has just died aged 60. A fairly manic, sincere, lovable, singer with tracks like Eastbourne Ladies where he describes his pleasure at seeing their underwear! If I'm mixing up tracks, no matter. He was also capable of wonderful love songs and remember "even blonde girls get the blues".
A few weeks ago I heard of Gillian Welch for the first time. I am impressed. She is a really classy country singer and joins the wonderful Beth Orton as my fave. female performers.
That's all for now, Folks. and it's your turn - tell me what's on your turntable
LOVE AND KISSES
