Like everything from JI, it is quite repetitive and weakly sung. But the instrumentation is nice. How I wish MK would produce a live-from-the-studio-promo-recording ONE SINGLE time... always that darned safety-net...

I agree about the repetitiveness but the singing to me sounds alright and relaxing. John is a beautiful artist and you can tell that some songs come from heart which is becoming a rare quality.

As for Knopfler doing a  live-from-the-studio-promo-recording, yeah I wish he would throw some bones to us

John Illsley - Railway Tracks

I don't like John's singing capabilities so much either. Though I must say that Guy on the other hand is a great vocalist. I like the laidback sound/character of Mark's voice in general more then Guy's, but I must admit that technically Guy surely is a better vocalist.

John Illsley - Railway Tracks

nice!

[wayaman]

I like his voice, and his songs, even they are not masterpieces, some of them are quite good, and some of the melodies are hunting. I have the melody from "Railway tracks" into my head, I cant stop singing it!

[Guitarman1972]

Vocal melody of "Railway Tracks" is kinda slow version of the song "The Letter" from The Box Tops.

yes you are right

I like very much the Joe Cocker version

I love The Letter.

Watch the swinging sixties audience go wild in this version from 1967.

The Box Tops version of The Letter is my favourite, but here is another very different interpretation by Eva Cassidy:

[LoveExpresso]

Dusty, the audience almost looks the same as any MK audience (apart from row 1) since 2005...

Do you mean in being stoned or in their reaction to the music!

Seriously though, I tend to agree and it's a lot to do with the pace of the set he plays these days.  Some folk are almost nodding off, saying to the person next to them "wake me up when Sultans comes on!"

I have seen many strange guitar looks, specially from the sixties models, but I think this one beats them all

Anyone heard the new album yet?
I have. Was looking forward to it, cause I really liked the youtube songs.

Album is disappointing in that respect. Not as acoustic as on the youtube clips.
