The 1996 Red Snapper album Prince Blimey found itself in a world dominated by trip-hop bands such as Portishead and Massive Attack. However, Red Snapper are masters of drum rhythms and bass, superbly demonstrated in Prince Blimey. |

The Father John Misty album Fear Fun was his debut under the new moniker after departing the Fleet Foxes. Sardonic and dark humoured lyrics, and fun melodies all present in Josh Tillman’s work. A great song-writer and all round talent. |

The 1970 album Tea For Tillerman brought Cat Stevens, now Yusuf, fame and fortune. Includes the classic tracks Where Do the Children Play? Wild World and Father and Son. I’ve never been his biggest fan…tell me if I’m wrong… |
