Is that song typical Zeo?
It's quite Radio 2 in the 1980s innit?
Inoffensive, but more than a little bland
Or am I missing something?

Nice accoustic sound
Pleasant and inoffensive
Another one for late night Radio 2 c1988
If I want something so downtempo I'd incline more towards something less anodyne
Perhaps Tom Waits, maybe a bit of Neil Young? Maybe Bill Callaghan or Bonnie Prince Billy?

Buchanan is up there with Hollis and Scott Walker as one of the great expressive white singers Much as I love Hollis, I would hesitate to put him in the same league as Scott Walker As for Buchanan, I can't say I'm hearing whatever it is you hear. Proficient but undistinguished to my sensibility. Where do Rod and Stevie Marriott feature in the great expressive white singers pantheon? |

Never cared much for Rod, one dimensional shouter. Marriott's up there. Great soul shouter and he can do mellow too* Great vocalists are all about nuance IMO. * eg... |

I think Rod's got more range and subtlety than your comments suggest
Marriott had the lot
Steve Winwood was no slouch either

No love for early solo Rod. Every Picture Tells A Story, Gasoline Alley etc.
You're hard to please Zeo unless, of course, it's superslick sounds like Blue Nile and Steely Dan
