I'm sure I've heard that name before. Couldn't put a sound to it though. Cheers for the rec though, I'll give him a spin.
Speaking of an Englishman getting to grips with proper country, I might actually have another review I could do here. It's an album of country standards covered by a very famous English musician and, while not a classic, is certainly a great place to start for a beginner or someone who's just curious about the genre. With your permission Flower Child, I'll do a review of it here (and no, it's not an Elvis Costello album
).
