Heard this for the first time today. Had me almost weeping by the end of it. How does Dylan do this? He's written so many great songs that have been unreleased for decades and when they finally are you're baffled as to why they weren't. This is up there with any of his great love songs. Just gorgeous.


 

A couple of albums by the criminally underrated Oliver Cherer (aka Dollboy).


Beard of Bees is understated, sun-soaked folk.


Sir Oliffe Leigh & Other Ghosts is beautiful English pastoral folk with a drop of Robert Wyatt-ness thrown in.


Both are utterly gorgeous.

Olly Murs seems like a likeable young chap.


But, have a listen to a couple of tracks on those albums. So much of the very best music is made by people that don't care a jot for commercial success and therefore don't trouble the playlists of commercial radio or radio 1.


Oliver's (Cherer, not Murs) work is a joy.

5 years in the making and it sounds exactly like the last one, with a couple of hits from the previous one thrown in.

sad face.


Titch, gave that Ollife chap a listen, nice.


Have you listened to any Darren Hayman (or his Raw Sex alter ego 'French')? Passing similarities here and there so you might like.

    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
