James, but this has gone on for a few years, I saw an advert for sky arts, there was something about the singer, I searched for the song and couldn't believe the guy I had watched on the advert was Tim booth, I was never heavily in james back in the day, but I am now

Macc lads

lyrical genius’. Prove me wrong

Can’t prove you wrong, but reckon Half man half biscuit did it better though. Happy Mondays too.

 

[chesterbells]

Are Shed 7 worth a listen? Anyone recommend any of their tracks?

 

[Barcon]

Can’t prove you wrong, but reckon Half man half biscuit did it better though. Happy Mondays too.

You just reminded me that I have been playing half man's latest album constantly.

I've also been listening to a few complete Beatles albums recently, prompted of all things by watching the film Yesterday. I'd previously only really listened to the red and blue compilation albums but there is obviously so much more to explore.

I gave your man Chris Whitley a listen earlier on Spotify, probably unfair to make a quick judgement but didn't sound like my cup of tea. I'm always happy to give new things a go though and might come back to him.

I've been listening to a lot of Jackie Leven:

I don’t know why Jackie Leven isn’t better known – he should be revered | Folk music | The Guardian

The Sexual Loneliness Of Jesus Christ - Jackie Leven - YouTube

I was a big fan of his original group Doll by Doll and especially their "lost classic" album;

Julian Cope presents Head Heritage | Unsung | Reviews | Doll By Doll - Gypsy Blood

The Thin Air | Irish Music & Culture With a Local Accent

No worries, thanks for giving it a listen anyway. Chris Whitley's music clearly isn't going to be for everybody. "Living With The Law" and "Dirt Floor" are his best albums I reckon, but others may get more out of his wildly different styles on other albums.
