This is a rare view of a unique talent. Hunger was a great, raw and powerful album.

    1. I think you’d like him Dave. First album – Hunger – was different – shades of Dylan – great lyrics – angst. Others are mellow. The last one was a beautiful response to his terminal illness – really moving.
      A very nice guy too. A sad, sad loss.

      1. Oh no – no sooner found than lost – I had much the same experience discovering the writer WG Sebald and then finding out he’d died.

      2. Never mind – he left a treasured legacy of song – if much too foreshortened.
        I have not read Sebald – is he good? What sort of thing?
