Kevin Ayers이다. 소프트머신을 결성했던!! 최근 앨범가운데 맘에 드는 곡중 하나 골라봤다.
Cold Shoulder도 같이 올릴려고 했는데 이건 다른 사이트에 있어서.... 관심 있다면 들어보길 권함.
Kevin Ayers의 목소리를 다시 듣게 되어서 너무 기쁘다~

Kevin Ayers (born 16 August 1944 in Herne Bay, Kent) is an English songwriter and major influential force in the English psychedelic movement. John Peel wrote in his autobiography that "Kevin Ayers' talent is so acute you could perform major eye surgery with it."

Ayers was a founding member of the pioneering psychedelic band Soft Machine in the late 1960s, and was closely associated with the Canterbury scene.

He has recorded a series of albums as a solo artist and worked with Brian Eno, Syd Barrett, John Cale, Elton John, Robert Wyatt, Andy Summers, Mike Oldfield, Nico, Ollie Halsall and many others. Long resident in Deià, Mallorca he returned to the United Kingdom in the mid 1990s. He now lives in the south of France and has completed work on a new album recorded in New York City, Tucson, Arizona and London.
