Track 1(Love) Like the jangly guitar; sort of reminds me of the opening to “Mrs Robinson”. His voice is good, reminds me of someone but I can't think who. Piano's really nice.
Track 2(Love) Like this one too; all guitar but really nice, has a kind of swingalong rhythm to it. It's driving me mad though who he reminds me of.
Track 3(Love) Lovely guitar intro
Track 4(Love) Another nice intro, bit more uptempo this time. Nice song.
Track 5(Love) Really nice instrumental
Track 6(Love) I love the melody and the atmosphere in this one. Ah! Cracked it! It's John Martyn he sounds like! Thank Christ for that: it was driving me up the wall!
Track 7(Love) Short but very breezy and upbeat
Track 8(Love) By contrast, this has an almost painful melancholy about it.
Track 9(Love) This seems to be quite bitter lyrically, though it's a kind of upbeat tune
Track 10(Love) A short song that seems like it might predict his eventual suicide?
Track 11(Love) Folky, uptempo and simple little closer.
End result: Having read about his tragic and short life, this seems to have been a man who could have been a great influence on music had he not suffered from depression and taken his own life. A terrible loss, and a really good album.
So, Love or Hate? This would be a
Love.
