Sunday Morning Coming Down


Tracking back & thinking how strange it is that all those marginalised albums in the Randy Newman corner of my memory are re-surfacing as real gems among the dust.

Perhaps a lot is due to exciting DJs like Gilles Peterson, who may have shone the spotlight on say: Phil Upchurch (which I am listening to just now!), Harvey Mandell (‘Righteous’, ‘Snake’ Or ‘Baby Batter’), Link Wray (R.I.P.) or Shuggie Otis.

Others have pinpointed Jan Dukes De Grey or Comus as worth seeking out.

This listener would certainly agree with all of the above.
