He's done a version of Evidence I've not heard before. You can have a listen to a snippet by clicking on the little speaker on the page. I do quite like Fairport (being a bit of a folkie) but I am not at all sure about this very bouncy version of a song I love so much.

Alternatively, I've now downloaded the full MP3 and can send it if you email off list. It's grown on me somewhat but you'd never guess it was a Dels song. Must say I prefer Alison's version though.......

I was listening to Tom Petty's new album, specifically to "Damaged By Love" and I felt I had heard something very much like that song before. After wracking my brain for a while I realized what song I imagined hearing.....its "No Family Man" on 'Some Other Sucker's Parade' by Del Amitri!!! So I played the Del Amitri song and sang the Tom Petty lyrics to it! OH WOW! So is Tom or Jeff a Del Amitri fan??? Somebody else please try this.......and let me know if its just me! Thanks!
