If you hadn't heard of Kevin Coyne before you read these notes then shame on you but on the other hand if you have come across him before then I bet you will admit, just like I do that he was never a real easy listen and he had the knack of putting you on edge whilst listening to his music and often making you feel damn uncomfortable at times. He had a bluesy voice that was rough around the edges but was always powerful and often painful.
Before his untimely death in Germany in Dec 2004 he had released around 40 LP's on a variety of record labels, he also was a painter and a writer. My favourite book that he published was from 1990 and was called 'The Party Dress', it was a book of short stories with some drawings and if you want to enter the world of Mr Kevin Coyne then this book is a great place to begin. 'Eastbourne Ladies' can be found on his classic LP from 1973 'Marjory Razorblade' or on a kind of cobbled together early best of 'Sign Of The Times' from 1994.
