Can you describe why you think he's a traditional singer?

Jim Eldon is an idiosyncratic genius whose understanding & mastery of Traditional Song is second to none. That he chooses to apply this genius to other aspects of his (our) immediate popular culture is nothing short of miraculous. Like other idiosyncratic traditional genii (Davie Stewart to name but one) he remains an acquired taste, but the best things in life always are. Jim is the pure drop and a national treasure besides.
