Jackie Leven - Desolation Blues Live at the Ferry Glasgow 1997

[dhatboy]

Shame on you Jools Holland. Home grown superstars get left by the wayside !

Cried like a baby for the fine man I loved. A legend left to discover for so many.

grifftrain, your not alone, I just just been listening to bbc radio 4 (lastword) who announced his death at 61. so I came straight on here, and pumped his name in, wow what a talent, but they said, they could not understand why he wasn,t a household name, so if you want to know more, go to radio 4 LISTEN AGAIN.

@sleaponit21 That's exactly how I've arrived here. And I'm really into solo singer/guitarists - how did I miss this guy?!!

[grifftrain]

Im unfamiliar with this musician. Its funny how you can discover "new" music. Even someone as old as me hasnt heard it all

[SLIMYSYME]

Sadly missed fondly remembered.

RIP

I just can't hear and see enough of this great musician. Sad enough he doesn't seem to play songs from his "Argyll Cycle Vol. I" very often. One of my favourite records (only "Fairytales for Hard Men" is better - in my personal ranking).

[homemoviecorner]

Stupid me. Of course "Desolation Blues" is from the "Fairytales..."-record.

Man's a genius , long live Jackie Leven...
