Jimmie Spheeris – Dragon is Dancing. What a terrible shame this man died so young. He had something special, for sure – looks like it’s fairly hard to find some of his albums and I think this is the one I’d go for first - I guess you’d label it folk rock. Also listened to his Ports of the Heart which was pretty cool, and have dipped into one or two others. I will be listening to his entire, all too brief catalogue - four studio albums, one live and one posthumous release.

From “Ports of the Heart” with his friend Jackson Browne doing duty on backing vocals … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghi6SB1apmM
“Blown Out” from Dragon is Dancing … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKVUjrwlszQ
“Blue Streets” – same album … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTEASj0I3jw
And “Lost in the Midway” – ditto …
