I'm still a bit devoid of ideas.So folowing on from yesterday's post here are a couple of songs that feature on the Sunday Herald Celtic Connections compilation for 2012.
You are getting one I featured when I posted this last time round and one I didn't . I'm also limiting myself to songs and/or albums I already have elsewhere.
The great Gerry Rafferty died on 4th January 2011 and there was a concert in the 2012 programme to commemorate his music and his passing. The song the Sunday Herald chose to feature was Can I Have My Money Back ? the title track from his first solo album from as far back as 1971 and one I have on an Antholgy of his work.
I'm pleased to say that King Creosote is very much still with us. I suspect that he and Jon Hopkins made an appearance to promote their 2011 album Diamond Mine. It was not one that I attended as I was just beginging to get into him at the time. Fortunately I've seen him a couple of times since.
Gerry Rafferty - Can I Have My Money Back?
King Creosote & Jon Hopkins - Bats in the Attic
Can I Have My Money Back? is a great debut album - not a duff track on it and still my favourite album by Gerry Rafferty.
ReplyDeleteI have that anthology too and it's great. I hadn't realised what a fine singer Rafferty was in my younger days which is a pity but better late than never.

I discovered King Creosote through our blogging community, and I'm a better man for it.
ReplyDeleteJohn "Tutti Frutti" Byrne painted that lp cover.
