i'm sure loads of others have too, but here's my views: he's bloddy ACE.
i got three CDs on Domino, and i like the sketchy four track stuff best,
but then that's me all over usually. unusually, i'd say that most of the
comparisons made by journalists are about right, although i dunno about
the cobain bit because, well, i just don't know enough about cobain. but
i'd suggest it's a lazy journo trick to get the punters interested. 

the vocals on 'coming up roses' is kind of bolan, but i still love it.
he also has a song with goes on about "killing the southern belle",
which i hope isn't portentious.

anyway, suffice to say i'm double looking forward to the two shows i'm
attending. maybe i'll see bethy and jon g and notts. who knows...

respect,

the duke
