You may also be familiar with solo albums by Boo Hewerdine and Eddi Reader; several years ago I had the pleasure of seeing Gregson, Hewerdine, and Reader perform together in NYC, in a song circle format with all playing on each other's songs. Boo Hewerdine has continued his collaboration with Eddi Reader - they worked together on her latest album; his various solo albums are all excellent too. Just a few months ago when the Eddi Reader album came out here, I again had the pleasure to see Eddi and Boo perform together in a small club outside Philadelphia - a great show with great songs by both of these talented singer-songwriters.

The CD is called Love Is A Strange Hotel (after the Boo Hewerdine song) and it's a CD of cover songs, one of which is Move Away Jimmy Blue. I'm a bit of a fan of Christine Collister - she has a great voice, but the jury's out on their Jimmy Blue version. (I'll do an MP3 of this later if anyone's interested) They do a pretty good version of Aztec Camera's How Men Are and Jackson Browne's For A Dancer though.

And Eileen also toured the UK as support to Eddie Reader. So there is a very tenuous Dels connection here!!
