One of my favourite guitarists. Micky Butler introduced me to Ry Cooder via this album.
Mick, we never managed to catch up. RIP mate, your musical taste was second to none.

Lowell George sadly passed away a couple of months after releasing his debut solo album. A supremely talented musician.

I'm playing the USA release tonight. I know it's more like a compilation and I know the original UK release is better but it took me years to find a decent copy so I'm proudly playing this one.

The Pogues best album imho. Critics generally rank Rum sodomy and the lash as their best but I prefer the raw sound of this banger.

John Glascock made his Tull debut on this album. Probably the best bassist that played with them.

Not as good as The Beatles Red and Blue compilation albums, but a great showcase for The Rolling Stones evolution into 'The greatest Rock'n'Roll band in the world '
