And the Dels should be reunited in order to rekindle and correct that. Well, Neil's name it's not household, but Crowded is. And the Dels should be reunited in order to rekindle and correct that.

You mentioned Crowded House and Del Amitri in the same article...bands that have 2 of the finest songwriters since the Beatles, and they barely left a mark. Sad really...they both should be household names....along with many other fine songwriters.

I'd never thought of that. Both have/had a knack for writing really killer hooky songs. The Currie solo album is great, and in fact, I've got a live show from his solo tour on my blog that's worth hunting down. Lots of tunes from the album, a few unreleased tunes, and plenty of Dels tunes. Jackie, the RS comparison is a really good one. I'd never thought of that.

If memory serves, I think I even saw them play a couple songs live in Daley Plaza years and years ago. I didn't know Currie had a solo album, gonna have to check that out.

I was living in DC at the time and I didn't know about that show at Jammin' Java. Nice club, but living in the city it was tough to get to without a car. Thanks for taping it.
