Brilliant Debut Albums #194

Andy White – Himself (1990)

I don’t know much about Andy, except that he is a poet, writer and musician from Northern Ireland.  He also sings in his Ulster accent and also includes spoken word passages on his many albums, of which I only have a handful.  He has recorded with Tim Finn of ‘Split Enz’ and Liam Ó Maonlaí of ‘Hothouse Flowers’ – as the one-off band ALT, a great record incidentally (apparently they shared a flat together once. Hence the collaboration).  He now lives in Melbourne, Australia.  On this, his third actually, I particularly like ‘In A Groovy Kind Of Way’, ‘Just Jumped Out Of A Tree’ and ‘The Guildford Four’.  I really should get some more of his stuff.
