   Such great choices and then it all goes wrong with David Gray… I’ve never forgiven that man for murdering ‘Say Hello..Wave Goodbye’, as David Walliams once said ‘You just can’t imagine David Gray ever stood outisde the Pink Flamingo Club in the rain’!! Just so irritating!!

     I stand by the David Gray Caryne but do think it got overplayed. I don’t think it’s as good as his first two albums but I was so taken with those that I forgave him an awful lot subsequently, including ‘Say Hello…’. Adam who plays on the new album got offered a place in his band in the years following those first couple of albums and I gather that at that time it was hard for him to stand anywhere, and had he been propped up outside the Pink Flamingo he might not even have known about it. So I welcomed his return to form.
     Rob, I was debating whether to put Blue Nile on my list, but much as I loved it at the time it’s not been played much since, but maybe I should dig it out now, I haven’t heard the Sun Kil Moon album but as your other choices are so good I’ll have to give it a go.
