Better songwriter, guitarist at best on a par. Voice not as good. This is a view from someone who has all RT albums and some bootlegs and very little Clapton stuff outside of Derek and Dominoes and a Clapton best […]

@Retropath2 that might be because she is in Brum as part of the Celtic connections tour.
Will try and catch her somewhere else on the tour but the ultimate is the wine,women and song tours but they rarely hit these shores.

Also Vulpes there is a very good 2cd live album Going your way with Neil Finn where they duet on each other’s best songs.

Bringing it all back home by Ian Clayton. It made me cry,laugh, think and above all reaffirm my love of life. He is extremely funny, very passionate and with a deeply ingrained sense of compassion for his fellow […]

Nordub is brilliant. Deserves greater recognition.

The Decembrists? – good musicians but the singer’s voice is awful.

Preferable to Liam but not welcome on a Mojo cover. Surprised that David Holmes who I admire greatly is working with him.
Mojo has had an excellent recent run of form so I can forgive them this blip.
Don’t do it again.

The Mona Lisa’s sister is to my mind Graham Parkers best album. Since none of the best ofs ‘s feature anything from the album he is one artist where you need more than just the best of.

On the other hand the […]

@Locust I really like that Adrienne Lenker album too.

Is that the 50th anniversary Trojan boxset – if so @Carl I would like it added to my list.

Brown eyed girl alone would have enabled him to buy a few houses.

Was playing that Chris Forsyth yesterday.
I posted 10 somewhere else but my list with 20 will definitely include this.
Dreaming in the non dream is a thing i of wonder.

A fine selection @mikeyp40

Hiss Golden Messenger – Devotion – Songs about rivers and spirits and children.
Calexico – Black Light.
Loudon Waibwright III- Years in the making
Tom Petty – Hidden treasures
Joe Strummer- 01.
Bob Stanley […]

Also Sabotage is a phenomenal live album.

Just to clarify upon reading this back that I was referring to Fiona Bruce not my wife.
It wasn’t exactly clear.

I have always said to me wife that because she is rather sweet an unassuming that I could imagine her in S+M gear doing naughty things. Maybe there will be a new line of questioning?
Victoria Coren would have […]

Wrong.
Stripping paper and Burnt Sugar is so bitter are up there with his best songs.

I have the Aidan Moffatt album after hearing a track on 6music. Its actually very good.
Also have Sons of Kemet on order which should be arriving today hopefully
