Fog On the Tyne - 8

Meet Me on the Corner/ Alright on the Night/ Uncle Sam/ Together Forever/ January Song/ Peter Brophy Don't Care/ City Song/ Passing Ghosts/ Train in G Major/ Fog on the Tyne.

Gloriously Geordie, gloriously out of tune and another of my all time favourite records - a fusion between folk and rock but with a  identity all of its own from the opening harmonies of the brilliant single Meet Me on the Corner to the last chords of the title track. This album included manay of the most endearing Lindisfarne moments. Alan Hulls sharply observed songs, Ray Jacksons excellent musicianship were very much to the fore on analbum you felt warm and cosy about playing in the local pub at the beginning of the 1970s. Great albums have a feel of their own. This has feeling and atmosphere in spades
