    Such an interesting performer, very distinct guitar and vocal stylings. Worth a watch!

    yeh what a legend, really enjoyed this. funny seeming him say it was his first time in ireland when he ended up living here!

    great production on a lot of his albums, anyone have any thoughts on it?

    Phil Collins was involved in Grace and Danger and Glorious Fool. Not sure in what capacity.

    One world I think. Lee Scratch Perry had a hand in that.

    Seems Davy Graham has passed on too! Missed that. British folk is taking a beating lately.

    ye i heard that too, can't say im as familiar with his work but its a bad run alright.

    phil collins played drums and sang backing vocals on grace and danger, scratch just collaborated on one track on one world, it was recorded in england, but beforehand john had spent a lot of time with scratch in jamaica, so he definitely contributed indirectly to the vibe:)

    solid air sounds amazing i think, i know this is probably more subjective and fannish then technical but it really sounds like it was recorded late at night in the dark or something:)

    saw him in drogheda last year and the naul the year before, absolutely brilliant!
