I love that album very much. I was hooked from the first few bars of the first song. It's better than [insert long list of current wannabes, hasbeens, neverweres and almostares].

that is Sgt P

But talking of Autumn - given my current folky phase can I plug a lost gem from yesteryear? Hunter Muskett Every Time You Move. You can practically smell the bonfire. Also Nick Drake's Five Leaves Left - of course.

BTW Azeem - that Kiki Dee/Carmelo Luggeri album you recommended is lovely. Played it via Spotify the other night when working late - perfect accompaniment. Broke off from work more than I should have to listen to it though. KD is a very unsung singer it seems to me.

Off to spend more time with this Eddy girl chap now

More folky stuff, "Migrating Bird, the songs of Lal Waterson" peformed by various people and absolutely fabulous. Again perfect for this time of year.

is perhaps the best Bacharach song the great man never wrote himself. The bit where she sings "I never gave up on you" and the music comes back in is real lump in the throat stuff. If you like Richard Hawley (who produced this), you'll probably love the A Girl Called Eddy album.
