It is with regret that I read the other Oakley's purple prose in respect of the Notes in the Stones CD. This may seem a little pre post-Freudian, however; it is the role of the ego to regulate the urges of the id. The other Oakley is, sadly, beyond my reach - depite nocturnal chastisement.
On one thing we do agree the new CD is an emotionally charged and honest offering. Oakley's rash violin playing is supported beautifully by Rawlings on guitar with that man who appears to have learnt to complain on a number of instruments (including voice)blathering at intervals.
