Listened to first 3 tracks. He’s is in fine voice, a crisp sound. Will buy on the strength of that… Sounds more immediate than some his more recent records… Perhaps one of his periodic ‘attempts to reach a wider audience’ – possibly not, just sounds that way to me… Ta for the link.
On order. Won’t listen to the stream because it spoils my enjoyment when the cd comes and I put it on. RT is an artist whose latest release is purchased regardless of reviews good or bad. It has to be the case.
On order at Harkonnen Towers also, thanks Gatz but I also prefer to wait until the LP/CD arrive. Good idea for those such as adman above.
Good god, fellows – “I’d prefer to wait until my CD arrives”?? I will just sit at my desk smoking my cheroot till the good lady rings her bell.
American chums: NPR also streaming
On pre-order. I am one of those prepared to wait…
