One of the great new artists (to me) discovered thanks to this forum and Tidal I have been enjoying his back catalogue for a few months now.
Took me a while to 'get' this but one night it just clicked and it's been a firm favourite ever since.
Quick listen to a bit of Joe Walsh before heading out into the garden with a glass of wine to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine on this lovely Summer day ![]()
