I was on a devoted Lemon Jelly kick for quite a while. I may now be shifting my allegiance to Neil Diamond.
I am listening to his "Essential" collection and I am finding it so funny, kind of silly songs, that are somewhat uncool and corny, but that is what is making them very good and very cool. I think because of his rather serious and deep masculine voice, it is even comforting and protecting sounding as if he would saying to his fans "Don't worry. I am here. I will protect you."
If I was in a cabin in the hills of Montana and a grizzly bear was outside trying to get in, I think I would send Neil Diamond out there to face and chase away the grizzly over the Lemon Jelly boys. The Lemon Jelly boys may flee and run into the woods in fear, where Neil and his deep voice would confront the grizzly to protect us. I shall not give up Lemon Jelly yet, but listening to Neil is rather calming and assuring on this Friday afternoon day off as I sit here trying to do some writing and catching up on emails.
