He's supposed to be coming to Ireland sometime next year. The only album I have of his is the Live double on United Artists which is terrific....I forget the year but it was a long time ago :)
The only albums of his that I have Dermot are Tapestry and American Pie which I think are both wonderful. He certainly had a different perspective on Life and The World which was reflected in his wonderful lyrics.

The debut album from The Delines, Colfax is a stunning & timeless collection of songs with the intimacy of a midnight confessional. "Sublime suite of Americana heartbreak" - Uncut Magazine

Got to be on my album of the year list in this or any other genre. Also one of best gigs of the year, with their 'sublime americana heartbreak' and haunting soulful voice of singer Amy Boone perfectly suited to intimate surroundings of the Errigle Inn Belfast
Been listening to this a lot today- Stunning vocals, great music. "Sublime" is a major understatement

Glad you like ;) and speaking of sublime vocals just got hold of Lucinda's latest. For a double album the quality is remarkably consistent looking forward to getting more into it

Recorded in Merle Haggard's living room... no overdubs. A lovely intimate album.

Doin' a bit of shopping in Tesco and spotted this for €8. Now I already have a few Willie Nelson "Essential" compilations but this had a few different tracks, enough to tempt me! Some of the production is a bit cheesy but he's an amazing songwriter and fine singer too...
