Al Dente Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 A friend, who is always mining for gems musically speaking, turned me on to Ted Hawkins several years ago. I only have one of his recordings. "The Next Hundred Years" is well worth checking out. His voice is somehow warm and sweet yet hardened and haunting. There's definitely a bluesy aspect to his music, but also a lot of folk and soul. I can't really think of anyone quite like him. He was a busker at heart; always reluctant to record his music. One of my favorite tunes is "Strange Conversation": I had a strange conversation My baby called me on the phone She said that your next lover's gonna be the blues And now I'm gonna be gone I like his take on Credence Clearwater Revival's "Long As I Can See The Light": Enjoy!

Keithstg Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 If you like the studio albums, check out "The Final Tour" - released posthumously. It's fantastic, and Strange Conversation is on it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
