Well for someone who doesn't rate Dylan or Young , despises Springsteen and sees Van Morrison as no more than a competent journeyman , funnily enough I'm listening to an artiste who supposedly comprises elements of all the four aforementioned
GRAHAM ("Nosey" to his mates)PARKER
The first three albums
HOWLING WIND
HEAT TREATMENT
STICK TO ME
This speccy-eyed ex petrol pump attendant from Surrey who looks like ELVIS COSTELLO'S wimpy brother (that takes some doing)really raawks
Great memories of him supporting THIN LIZZY at Liverpool Stadium mid 70's plus a couple of headlining dates He's supported by THE RUMOUR ; uber pubrock group par excellence featuring BRINDSLEY SCWARZ amongst others
Also lined up for use on the gramophone DOREMI FASOL LATIDO If Big Den is the Gold Medallist these are the Silver (Machine) medallists in the 70's FUturist Olympics I've seen T'WIND Live on several occasions and they've never been less than excellent , particularly when BOB CALVERT was there MY only reservation about this group is that they spawned LEMMY , but then again you can't have everything
To round things off PROVISION by Metamatic's favourite Welshman GREEN GARTSIDE His journey has been long both musically and aestethically Gone are the Princess Di/Fernando Torres gender bender blond locks and he now looks like a prop- forward for Maesteg or Llanelli Music still of the highest quality
Got to go , my Silver Machine awaits and remember "You don't need a cardiologist to have a change of heart "
