105 since you ask. But not including the one at 440: Loretta Lynch – Coal Miner’s Daughter. What is that exactly?

Henry the Human fly really doesn’t sound like anybody else from that period, apart from maybe a nod to The Band. There’s some lovely stuff on it, eg The Poor Ditching Boy, Shaky Nancy, the very quirky Nobody’s […]

Richard acoustic, Richard electric, and Richard & Linda are 3 different listening experiences. I think Celtsmerchz is a very good example of the former, and also the lesser know Live at Crawley which is him and […]
