Chris Stapleton - Starting Over

Chris on top form, but this hasn’t grabbed me quite like Traveller and From a Room Vols 1 & 2 quite yet. I need a couple more listens I think.

Funny Johnny Etchells who Engineers on this album lives in my town and I used to work with a guy whose Auntie Shirley did the backing vocals - small world.

Was just digging out Darkness on the Edge of Town when I spotted Skid Row 34 Hours. Not played it for years so banged it on the turntable. Big riffing blues rock with a very young Gary Moore. Not 'arf bad.
