Looking forward to the Shane McGowan tribute album due out soon. Some interesting folk on it but all lve heard so far is Rainy Night in Soho by Brooooce. I'm not his biggest fan, but even that sounded good.

Could totally imagine JJ covering and singing this on his new solo album - maybe in French? And adding more breathy-ness to that backing vocal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=786Rcztk0cE

sounds good! Never heard of him. Deffo JJ would make that song sound richer. Bill's voice is a little weak.
Hugh's voice would also suit

Mr Pritchard recorded (a rather excellent) album with Daniel Darc (Taxi Girl) https://hmv.com/store/music/cd/parce-que

https://open.spotify.com/album/6JJD44CP ... O_lghkReFw

So yeah it's kinda 3rd party link but a link nonetheless.

Never heard of them, l may seek them out. I was listening to a lot of the old, original rockabilly stuff too, it's amazing to me that even some of the most extreme messed up CRAMPS songs are actually covers- lm looking at you, She Said by Hasil Adkins 8)
