I had never even heard of him until I read this list earlier this morning.
But by a strange synchronicity I've just seen him on TV- I liked the song
(forgotten the title already) a lot- catchy, uplifting, funky... these are
not words normally associated with music I like, but funky in that totally
un-crap way that one almost never encounters these days. And a blistering
pedal steel solo rounding it all off. Nice.
