Saw him live in Manchester last night and as ever he was superb. Have heard most of the tracks either live or on his My Space page and if you have fond memories of The Housemartins or particularly loved the early Beautiful South years you will love this. Without doubt one of the most underated British songwriters of the last 20 years, and also one of the most underated singers too. I know that I will be playing this album to death, My recommendation to you? Buy It Buy It Buy It!!!!!!
