Never heard any of his songs before but based on some reviews I've read and praise on here from Mook and Monty I picked Love and Hate up before. Last copy in HMV. Going to sit down in a minute with some tins and give it a listen.

 

Grew up listing to soul and Motown mainly. I remember a time in the late 80's/early 90's when the only CDs we owned were the greatest hits of Marvin Gaye, The Chi-Lites and The Drifters. Seen him compared to Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Bill Withers and a lot more so he's got a lot to live up to.

 

Oh, and if it's shit Mook you owe me £21.99 or the equivalent amount in Beef Transform-A-Snacks.

That was one of the best gigs I've ever seen & I've been going to gigs for 35 years.   This lad has something magical.   Distinct lack of people talking through songs & rec

Finally giving last year's album a proper listen. It's brilliant. Like, first listen 10/10, Great.

I hope you like it, mate. I reckon he's brilliant. Stupidly I neglected to get tickets for his Edinburgh gig in October and it's now sold out.

A bit obscure but Black man in a white World reminds me of Tony Allen's 70s stuff, in terms of the rhythms...

I enjoyed that. Last song is a belter.

 

Think the biggest surprise though is that after 13 years plus on the site Monty was right about something for the first time.

 

Pretty sure I said you were a cunt pretty early on in your forum life. 

 

So that's at least two hits.

This is bad but I only bought the album this week after bleating on about him for months, fuck me, some of it is really, really good.

 

He's playing in Edinburgh tonight & I'm a bit gutted I didn't buy tickets now, it's the last time he'll be playing in venues that size at the rate he's going.
