referencing The Kershaw Sessions (CD, Album) R00TCD 001
i can't say without counting how many albums by robyn hitchcock/soft boys i own...many, but not all, his discography is huge!
he is one of my much loved musicians and the best songwriter in my mind, period.
this collection of live, kitchen and a bbc studio (in which the peels sessions were recorded, when i got it right) recordings from 6 dates, ranging from 85 to 89, i discovered some days ago and ordered it instantly, having been a huge fan of robyns music for almost 40 years now.
in my opinion it is underrated with a score of 3,8 by 20 people, but that is a matter of taste of course.
the sound quality is very good here, also the unplugged sessions in andy kershaws kitchen one morning after a gig, with a borrowed mixing desk on a dat recorder, surrounded by people making sandwiches, is clear and not dusty.
the live tracks recorded 85 at the mighty marquee club in london shows one more time, what a awesome live band the egyptians very, highly energetic and concentrated ( or manic, as robyn described it), everybody seemed to have fun...
the 80s were one of many creative highpoints in robyns career, and also in commercial terms, he was a lot of time in the usa, played in a tv shows there, they liked the eccentric english gentleman.
i love his albums with the egyptians, there recorded so many timeless classics...
this is a great collections of great songs and a must have for fans of robyn in my mind.
robyn hitchcock is mr. creativity for me, i don't know any other songwriter, who wrote sooo many such wonderful songs alone, and that seems to never ending...
at his age the most musicians repeat themselves, touring with old songs and lost their flame of creativity, mr. hitchcock gets even better, the last albums, the selftitled and shufflemania, are among the very best. shufflemania is kind of the highpoint, a work of genius, not to forget the complete instrumental life after infinity, which concentrates on his unique guitar work and has kind of light psychedelic vibes.
and there are so many unreleased songs for us patreons...unbelieveable!
and the next one and a book will come this summer, it is never boring with robyn.
keep up, robyn, and thank you for endless hours of joy listening to your music.
