fp noodle for that bullshit
fp bizarro for suggesting jimmy nail has ever been on anything other than an upward trajectory

'Aint no doubt' was way better than it had any right to be.

'Cowboy Dreams' we writted by Paddy off Prefab Sprout - was 'Croc Shoes' also?

Voted for Big River '96, a Jon Kelly remix strikes me as gilding the lily.

I believe I watched the TV series of which Crocodile Shoes was the titular song, but can remember nothing about it except Jimmy Nail was in it.

Thread q:

At which point? Probably when he agreed to do "Morons from Outer Space", that was when he realised.

96 was a big year for the la, Nail

lol bless you nick b

crocodile shoes 2 was the first album i chose/asked for iirc after being dazzled by 'country boy' on live and kicking in about 1996. blue roses still occasionally gets in my head, even tho i always hated it.

one year passes...

Respect for making 'Once in a Lifetime' sound like an unchallenging Radio 2 drive time staple, largely by changing the response melody in the call/response from ascending to descending. Disappointing how much he merkins up his accent though.
