Don’t think I have played this for over a year - forgot how good it is!

Don’t remember buying this one, but glad I did !
During the various lockdowns I ‘discovered’ Nick Drake. I’d heard the occasional track previously but had never taken the time to investigate properly. I was hooked in pretty quickly after purchasing this wonderful LP. Joe Boyd’s production deserves a shout out.
All three of Drake’s LPs are tremendous.
Love the tone he gets from his guitar and amp.
Nine below Zero Live. 1980. Always enjoy this.
Not sure how I missed this first time round. Rory Gallagher Against the Grain on 1975 Chrysalis vinyl. Cracking mix of blues rockers and accoustic blues. Mebbe not his best - that would have to be live obvs - but well worth a listen.
Chris Spheeris - Europa
Multi instrumentalist, sort of new ageish. Good late night listening which wont disturb the neighbours!
Saw them live quite a few times. They really were something live. Dennis Greaves’ guitar and Mark Feltham’s harmonica were a perfect pair.
I saw them live when I was a Student, I thought they were great. They were the support band. Can’t remember who the main band was. Says it all.
New album coming shortly.
