KEVIN COYNE
with GORDON SMITH, JEAN ROUSSEL, TONY COUSINS
CHILI CHARLES, STEVE VERROCA
Many singer/songwriters have been more heralded, but few produced more good work
or did so for longer than Kevin Coyne. While virtually unknown in America, Coyne released
dozens of records, most of them very good, that dealt primarily with outsiders: men, women,
and children arbitrarily shunted to the fringes of society, or worse, locked away and left alone.
His songs could be extraordinarily compassionate and,
in the blink of an eye, angry, anguished, and accusatory.

Of the four or five Kevin Coyne albums that fans routinely describe as his best ever,
Marjory Razorblade is by far the best known in the wider world, a consequence not only
of the enormous critical splash it made upon its original release in 1973,
but also because of the ripples it continued sending out long after the fact.
Four years later, Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten singled out the album's "Eastbourne Ladies"
as one of his all-time favorite records, while the strumming, thrumming "Marlene"
is one of those records whose failure to become a monster hit single
continues to baffle and bewilder...(AllMusic)
