Robert Lloyd is not your average Rock & Roll figure to put it mildly. They are forbears and paralells. Most obviously Captain Beefheart and Pere Ubu's David Thomas. Never mind Gargantua and Pantagruel if you're looking to impress your mates. Have you seen them live. You really should? But really he's earned his moment given his committed willingness to step up to the plate and swing for all he's worth for countless years.
Latest album The Awful Truth is a rompathon and no mistake. A mix and match. By turns Glam, Punk, Rockabilly and everything in between. It's damned good fun for the whole Rock & Roll family. The likes of Marc Riley and Steward Lee will be dressing up in their finery to strut their stuff and embarass younger relatives. It's not what you'd describe a coherent listen. But that's never been what you go to The Nightingales for.. Excellent stuff !
