I think u're wrong LilacTime, the new album is a great listen & has tunes that are amongst his best. I think I might know what u mean - the current pedal steel/radio 2/ country-folk phase can be a lil difficult to penetrate at times - sonically speaking the Astronauts/Music in Colours/Duffy/I Love My Friends period will always be my fave, but the strength of his song-writing is more than still intact (maybe with the exception of Keep Going). He prob wouldn't thank me 4 it, but SD IS a god!
As someone who has been evangelical about the works of SAJD since the days of 'Kiss Me' I must admit that ever since 'Looking for a day in the night'the band appear to have been treading water - was excited about this being a return to form but the album was a big disappointment!
This song is simply sublime. A great return after 4 years away. Should be a hit but won't be just because it's Stephen Duffy (and let's face it, we all like to have our little secrets in life don't we?). I wonder why BBC Radio 2 aren't playing the life out of it? Can't wait for the album!
Once again evoking the spirit of Kerouac's On the Road. This is their best song in quite a while. Should be a hit! It's fantastic that new Stephen Duffy & The Lilac Time material is coming out soon! You folks in the UK are lucky; you at least have a shot at seeing them play live and have a better chance at getting the CD when it's released. I don't even know where to pre-order the CD from a stateside source. Oh, and check out Shack's Time Machine disc. "Wanda" is a great track...
video looks like great fun.Been a fan of lilac time since lilac time...love the song..the beard looks cool.the george harrison years?..good luck with everything and keep going.Off to read the god delusion and factotum..bye..x
It's summer! I'm gonna be driving to somewhere to get to nowhere now!

I think Stephen has always been nostalgic, but what for I'm unsure - a mythical place that perhaps never existed?

no-beard-fraction. I'm really looking forward to the album and to see TLT playing in Germany (late November, as Stephen wrote in his blog)

Sublime.... I'm pro-beard, pro-Claire and pro-champagne! How lovely everything's turned out -- especially the music.
