Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

9. LambchopOH (ohio)

Tony Crow’s piano. He is one of my favourite players, so subtle. He is a huge person but can play so gently. At 4:29 on this song you might hear what I mean, and then at the end – playing out with a few beautiful notes. Kurt Wagner’s words – I don’t claim to understand them all or hear them right but these are some as I do hear them:

"Until it’s time to sing this song over my grave
Like a boy who just forgets the morning shave
Or the girl who gets the hound dog to behave
I will sing to you."
