I haved loved Dirk Hamilton’s first album, since I first heard it more than 25 years ago. Among the thousands and thousands of albums I have heard, this rates very very high, if I had to make a top 100 or even a top 10 list. It touches me as much, every time I hear it again. I hadn’t heard it for too long because my copy is on vinyl and it’s been a time since my turntable has spun. If you are reading this, please make sure you hear Dirk Hamilton’s ‘You can sing on the left or bark on the right’. It’s on Spotify, as are his first four albums, which are all masterpieces. There’s a great live show on Wolfgang’s Vault
