Ronnie Lane “Anymore For Anymore” (1974)
Out of all the albums that I've heard this is the one that has touched me the most. It's such a joy to hear Ronnie Lane sing about unimportant things that, after a second listen, become the most important issues you can think of. Seemingly loose played, but at the same time heartfelt and pure. Music far removed from the standards of those days but at the same time so very timeless. Yes, this album means the world to me. If I had to describe "Anymore for Anymore" in one word it would have to be "love." From the beautiful sax solo on "Don't You Cry For Me" to those spine tingling strings on "The Poacher", every track is a gem. The passion and sincerity with which it is crafted is of a standard previously unknown to me. This album will make you enjoy and appreciate life so much more. It's simply brilliant and, in my opinion, essential listening for every roots/country/folk listener. –Ton
