the god like figure that is Dwight
The tight trousered one has
a new album "Under the covers" A couple of tracks previously
appeared on his European release "La Croix D`Amour" but the
rest are all newly recorded covers of songs recorded previously by
artists as diverse as Glen Campbell and the Clash.After a long wait
from the US release it was finally released in the UK on the 18th of
August.An agonisingly long time but well worth it as the album is as
excellent as one has come to expect from the man.Better and more
coherent reviews than l could put together can be found on the
Dwightsite.Sharon actually received a name check in the thanks section
of the new album which all of us on the mailing list were overjoyed
about,well deserved and thank you Dwight .He has also just released an
excellent Christmas album called "Come on Christmas".This
has not been released in the UK as yet,I somehow doubt it will be but
if you manage to get hold of a copy you will find the effort more than
worth your while. The good news is that a new album of original
material will be released in the next couple of months, more news as
and when I get it. A
slightly unusual view of Dwight, October 1997 at a booksigning in LA
with my friend Gloria Lynn. And no doubt she will kill me for putting
this image up. He was signing copies of the new book by Kinky Friedman,
I really should ask someone why as the reason escapes me.Below is a
picture from the same event taken from a more conventional angle.
