Kevin never sold out , and i respect him for that . He had the looks , voice and song writing skills, that could have made him more famous and rich. Very talented. ❤
Thanks. So good to hear Kevin. Sad that I never met him.
The Kevin Ayers catalog was a big part of my musical upbringing from Joy of the Toy onward. An eclectic mix of eccentric English songs almost like a musical trip through alice in wonderland with a ever so strange banana obsession!!!! I got to see him live in 1975 at the Astoria in London with Andy Summers & Zoot Money just before the punk thing kicked off & just about when Summers met Stingo & Copeland to do their pretend punk band. As a musician myself I recorded a cover version of May I for my brothers funeral as he was a big fan. Ayers songwriting was always very amusing and he even got quite poppy in his later material. He never quite broke out commercially partly, I think because he was so laid back himself. He was always surrounded by a group of very talented musicians from Oldfield, Summers, Coxhill, Bedford, Wyatt etc. Whatevershebringswesing and Confessions of Dr Dream albums are stamped in my head from a young age. He was a one off with music full of vision and humour but possibly fuelled by the occasional substance, mainly red wine. A bit mad but a memorable talent. Too old to die young!
1985 was a dire time for music and his comment about techno pop indicates he felt so too.
He was such a great talent
Excellent, insightful. Great to hear.
He sounded lonely and alone
I'd bet Dylan had never even heard of Ayers.
Wow, he sounds just like Nick Drake - if Nick Drake spoke openly.
Similarly rich timbres and quietly reflective ways of thinking and speaking. Treasures.one had to seek out because neither was inclined toward self-promotion.
