Reissue of this 2008 release. Although widely known amongst his fellow musicians, and enjoying airings by Bob Dylan, on his world-wide Theme Time radio show, Watkins has had a modest public profile during his career to date. But concert goers and record buyers will have heard him play with others including Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler, Bill Wyman and others. Watkins' ability to make the simplest musical statement into a moment of top class entertainment still amazes even his closest associates. But it's not just his performances that set him apart. He's a notable songwriter whose work has been heard in Films and on TV. One Hollywood insider has enthused that his songs sound like you've known them forever. Watkins' music is not bluesy, jazzy, folksy or poppy, it's Blues, Jazz, Folk and Pop, he is one of those people who make the classic records, not just sounding like them.  Gold Top.
