Jeff,
That is an amazing haul, but have to add my voice on the Tony Cox. I think
Steve over at Absolute Power Pop reviewed this recently, too - but I ran
into it elsewheres. If you were a fan of the 90s band Dodgy (who I believe
are actually back together with Nigel Clark in the mix) - you owe it to
yourself to check this one out.
The songs are by Tony, but the production, vocals and instrumentation is
Nigel. It really plays like a low key soulful Dodgy and it's an amazing
record. It appears Tony wants a songwriting deal, but these versions are so
accomplished I wonder if anyone will think they can better them. Extremely
highly recommended as a great sage once said.
Also, I completely concur on The Bees / Silver Seas & The Nourallah Brothers
(Salim turned the knobs on Rhett Miller's current release, I'm pretty sure).
