Monday Long Song


Steve Westfield and the Slow Band had a good line in dark Americana, laced with a dry humorous twist during the second half of the 1990s, with their albums 'Reject Me...First', 'Underwhelmed' and 'Stupostar'. Though his Slow Band is no more, Steve is, by all accounts, still an active participant on the Massachusetts music scene. The title track of the debut LP was for me, their finest 8 and a bit minutes. Check those horns as they beckon you into the chorus.

Thought it might be up your street George - and Charity Chic's too.
