What an aching pity the English folk community were too biassed , tone deaf, idiotic, brain dead, xenophobic and plain dumb - not to have championed the talents of Jack hudson. A once in a generation voice who did the definitive versions of guy Clarks songs. After hearing jack's versions - Guy Clark's own versions seemed a bit of a let down.

Jack is a name that should have been on that track list. And quite frankly - its the world's loss, and England's shame.

Love Joe Ely by the way - always have, but can't believe he would have done Dublin Blues as well as Jack used to.
