Before Amanda gets there...

...I want to be the first to recommend The Great American Novel, the new CD (an EP really) from Martyn Joseph. I know Amanda is usually the one to harp on about him, so it makes a change for me to do it instead!

The title track is a wonderfully passionate track, an old Larry Norman song updated and given a new lease of life. There are then a few new recordings of some of his older songs - Swansea is a really good new version - less syrupy than on the Being There album, and the lyrics are more prominant. The last track is a new live recording of War babywith Tom Robinson.

Well worth £6.99 for 5 great tracks. HMV are stocking a few copies, or you can order it from their site.
