One of my favourite records is an album by a little known Texan called Bobby Earl Smith - fine music and he's got such a great voice, the whole disc is a joy to listen to.

He's also a criminal defence lawyer, so if you're in Texas and 'in the cart' ...

Ha! And indeed this sort of thing...

It still is possible to do exactly that - Kathryn Jenkins, Charlotte Church, Andrea Bocelli, Russell whasisname....

It's increasingly difficult to do it properly.

Heh heh! Harsh, DP, but fair! Possibly not as difficult as being terrible on purpose...

It's very difficult to be really terrible on purpose. I can't do what Les Dawson does here.

Les is pure genius

Alternatively: you need to have taken some serious drugs to get this number!

Anyway, Andy, try our local supergroup, The Gertrudes... listen to 'Turn Out that Lights', it's a grower.

I finally got around to listening to that. It's definitely classy. Thanks.

The guitar solo is untoppable, then the accordion player tops it!

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I was lucky enough to see Texas musician Joe Ely, Clash fans will know the name, and Joel Guzman in London a couple of years ago - quality guitar and accordion playing, if that's what you like!
