I ask this question from time to time and almost nobody answers, but what the hell, I’ll throw it out there again. I’m listening to a CD called In a Bad Mood by Geraint Watkins. You may not know Geraint Watkins by name, but if you’ve listened to Nick Lowe, Van Morrison or Dave Edmunds
you’ve likely heard his keyboard work. Watkins has played behind Mr. Lowe for many years. In fact, he was the lone backing musician (and opening act) at the Nick Lowe show I attended just a few short years ago at Lee’s Palace here in Toronto. Some of you may recall his band The Dominators from the late 70’s
In a Bad Mood was released last year, and features Lowe on rhythm guitar on several of the tracks. All but two of the songs were penned by Watkins. One of the covers is the old Nick Lowe and Rockpile rocker, Heart of the City. Overall, I wouldn’t call it a rocking album though. It’s thoughtful, mature, it messes about in a few genres, and it’s beautifully performed. Here’s Mr. Watkins playing Champion, a lovely waltz from the recent album. This is the kind of elegant feel to be heard throughout.

The day of this post I remember listening to Martha Wainwright’s “i know you’re married but i’ve got feelings too”. Her voice is sublime.
Oh my goodness, I haven’t heard Tricky in years…
I’m listening to an old Tricky album, Juxtapose
I’ve been listening to industrial rockers Ministry,druggy metalheads Monstermagnet, classic Motorhead, the Last Poets, and P-funk guitarist Blackbird McNight!!
That sounds perfect for this evening. I’m actually on BLIP so am listening to a lot of different things, both of my own choosing and what other people play. Right now it’s Super Furry Animals.
