    I still rate it in my top 5 albums of all time……… sure thats a big call – but it’s so gut wrenchingly honest and lyrically fantastic

    It is a truly fantastic album with beautiful honesty. I love how you echo the motions of a relationship so well – beautifully captured in the arc of relationships that you sum up in a single song – ‘Why Can’t You Love Me’. I have been listening to this album ever since it came out in 1991 (I remember when I bought it, it came with bonus photo cards) and never cease to be amazed at this song and album.

    I was disappointed it did not get the success it deserved – a bit like Mark Lizotte’s first self named solo album – Soul Lost Companion. Both sadly overlooked.

    Enjoy all of your work. BCO was definitely the poorer for your departure (and hope the tinnitus is under control).

    Getting all nostalgic here i still have a sneaky copy on vinyl which i purchased through the BCO fan club back in the day.

    Richard have a listen to Richard Hawley’s album Coles Corner ..it’s beautiful stuff.

      You can’t go passed Elliot Smith in case you haven’t heard him .
