She put out records because she had to – the whole fame thing didn’t interest her at all. She hasn’t put out a record or played live in 20 years. Some artists hide behind imagery or a character – but Tim Hardin was brutally honest in dedicating this to his wife Susan Moore.Īnne Briggs makes music purely for herself. Things were going really wrong in his marriage. Apparently he never saw any royalties from If I Were A Carpenter. There is nothing that can medicate the pain that he feels here. Tim Hardin – Suite For Susan Moore and Damion The session musicians on there are just incredible – it sounds exactly like its title – like a blue afternoon. I one hundred percent take his musical themes and ideas on board. These artists influenced me to explore more of a folky jazz sound. John Martyn and Tim Buckley were folk dudes but they hung with serious jazz musicians. John Martyn has these sweet but heartbreaking songs – he can deliver these sad songs in a very sweet way. He had such a great mid-period – it’s really impressive. Travelling Man is probably my favourite song ever. Red Rhodes is playing pedal steel – he was a session guy on everybody’s albums at that time. He recorded it with Mike Nesmith of the Monkees. There’s that tune ends with the whole football stadium (Fearless includes a recording of Liverpool football fans singing You’ll Never Walk Alone) – it’s crazy.īert Jansch made this record in California for a new upstart label (Charisma was a British label started by Tony Stratton-Smith in 1969). Every groove is super slow and gradually building. Everything is gorgeous and so laid back – it’s their most stoned record. Meddle is the Pink Floyd record that even my parents don’t even know – it’s a real treasure. This is one that really hit me when I was little.

The music contains some very transparent signposts, although Walker explores his influences knowingly, and with imagination.
