A reminder to myself about how great this series of 10-15 minute episodes was. To those wo have never heard of it, the premise is that a bunch of famous people 'retire' to a suburban street in the UK. All are played by the brilliant Sessions & Cornell.

And he's come out a stronger musician. When asked about the obstacles he's faced throughout his lengthy career in alt-country, folk and rock music — be it a battle with migraine headaches and the painkiller addiction tha

Poptodd, I would recommend these self titled solo debut One of the best voices (as Bono has testified too if that means anything to you) and an ear for a great melody - or at least 7 out of 10 times :-)

Beatles 90% Wilco / Maria McKee / Emmylou / Elbow / The Jam around 70% The rest: no one gets more than around 40% I don't get easily blinded into accepting everything from anyone.
