Yes, I too bought this when it came our Andy, and loved it. But I think How To Become Clairvoyant is my favourite by him. Must admit, enjoyed The Band, but loved his solo stuff soooo much more.
Keep up the great work DD

Thanks Dave and always great to read you have dropped by!

I LOVED the Band from working with Dylan to all their own stuff but the first solo from Robbie blew away . . . . loved How To Be too!

His film work is extraordinary too and deserves greater attention like a separate section or summat!

Incredible album, also bought upon release. Excellent with The Band, seen at Wembley in 1974, his collaborations with Martin Scorsese and a sad loss. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks Dell! Couldn’t agree more and thanks as always for dropping by and sharing your thoughts
I was at the Wembley gig too and loved that whole day!
But the Band blew everyone else away IMHO!
