Lovin' men, lovin' women, lovin' all God's creatures...

Well maybe I was being a little hasty about the new Alabama 3 record...it has definitely grown on me in the last week or so, and I'm sure by the time I listen to it with over at Penco Towers on Saturday night it will have the status of a classic (helped by two or three bottles of red and some good strong cheese). Sure there are some dud tunes, but the good certainly outweighs the indifferent. Holy Blood might find it's way into my 2007 best of..

Doesn't look as though many of the music mags or broadsheets have bothered to review it, but they are perhaps busy showering ill-deserved plaudits on the new Babyshambles record.

IndependentIndependent loved it; made it album of the week. I think Mojo said great things too. On the subject of the Indy, Spirit wrote a great piece in Saturday's edition.

thanks for that. The Spirit piece looks like one which was posted on the official website recently; it's much more regularly updated than it used to be, including a column from the man hisself.

Don't remember the Mojo review though??

Could have been The Word, whom I'd almost forgiven for their Thommo review. And then I read their Rachel Unthank one.
