Prog Synch Listen: In Memoriam - Danny Kirwan - Friday 15th June @ 9pm

[Nancy]

From Wikipedia...

Mick Fleetwood was particularly impressed with Kirwan's contributions to the album. "It's a well-rounded album. Like Lindsey, Danny had the chops with layering techniques, and the ability to know what's right and wrong in the studio."

[Spock!]

Little touches remind me of Badfinger - not something I've noticed before.

i wonder if i've always heard some of that, being the badfinger freak i was even back when i was a kid

Badfinger!

Also one of my favourites, an early love.

A Christine dominated track - lovely

I love the outro guitar...

[Spock!]

Great keyboards, particularly enjoying the organ.

i love this fucquin track. i swear, it's the danny track that actually runs thru my dreams from time to time

hatz said this album was too welchy, but what, two songs? and the original sentimental lady is a luvvvvv of mine.

That was a silly thing to say. I just don't think it's definitive Kirwan - in a way maybe it's too good of a Welch album - and the Christine songs are good too - whereas I feel like he has more presence on the other albums he's on 'cause the other contributions aren't as good as his. Of course his best stuff is on side two, so I'm glad I'll be here for it!

Lovely dual guitar

Tasty

Wish that outro had gone a bit longer.

Beautiful instrumental. Danny wrote some really gorgeous songs.

primo kirwanism. sniffle

[toomanyhatz]

OK, here's where it really picks up for me! God, he was good at those moody instrumentals, wasn't he?

If only Joe Meek had...well, maybe not such a good idea after all.

[Spock!]

Love the tone of the guitar, the space between notes...

[C]

Of course his best stuff is on side two, so I'm glad I'll be here for it!

and so are we!
