easy listening, could have been folk....
acoustic with lush strings, almost Nick Drake-ish, for want of a better artist....
a lovely track....

Wow. That's a beautiful song. When he's good, he's very, very good!
There's a guitar in there that bothers me a little bit - timing is odd, but then again, I could finally have gone completely mad. Lol! Did you notice it CH?

yup...and he really hasn't been good for a few years now IMO
as for the guitar, I thought it was just me, thankfully its you too Ruby...
the picking style/speed did nothing to enhance the song whatsoever IMO neither...
if this track is the standard of the album it'll get the thumbs up from me for sure., not bad for a guy who turned 60 on 25th May

I don't hear anything odd about the guitar to be truthful. But it's just me with these old ears ! lol...good song though ! Shame he didn't catch on in North America !
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
