Review:
Brilliant
Back in the 70s sometime, a friend of mine waved a copy of
Naturally at me and said "You'll like this." I hated the cover (I still do) and expected
to hate the album, but he put on Side 2; a few bars into Crazy Mama I was
hooked, during After Midnight I realised that I was in love and after River
Runs Deep I was a lifetime fan. Quite
simply, the man is a brilliant songwriter, a fine singer and beneath the
laid-back sound is a truly great guitarist with a lovely, lovely touch.
Naturally remains a classic album for me. Great songs, superb performances and an
atmosphere of Southern cool which few can match. No wonder people like Eric Clapton regard him
as a major influence. This is sheer
class and a hugely enjoyable listen.
Very, very warmly recommended.
