I Like This: Hugh Oliver
Hugh is an odd duck. He’s a poet, novelist and sculptor. He was a musican at one point, too, writing songs with producer Glyn Johns and having his material recorded by Decca and EMI back in the 60s.
Glyn became a big-time producer, working wtih everyone from the Beatles and Led Zeppelin to Elton John and The Who. Hugh retired from music and moved to Canada where he took a job at the University of Toronto.
Now, at the age of 83, some 50 years after he stopped recording songs, Hugh has un-retired from music and has recorded a new album entitled …And All That Crap. With songs like this, I find the project fascinating. And it’s CanCon, too.
