Wilko Johnson

[Maggie/915]

Brilliant programme last night on the BBC.

Imagine.

I saw most of it Maggie. Great bloke, Wilko.

The music I love but the man himself is very impressive.

The programme was so thoughtfully presented.

The imagery was worthy of study.

Julian Temple, the director of the film, also did an earlier movie about Wilko's band Dr Feelgood;  it was called Oil City Confidential.  I saw it on the Beeb some years ago - it was another great show with the band in full flow.  Lee Brilleaux (who died of Big C a few years ago) was the band's brilliant singer ... a true blues man.  I think the DVD of Oil City Confidential is available to buy.

 

I bought Going back Home - a CD by Wilko and Roger Daltrey last year - it really is good.  Blues at its best ... Daltrey really can sing and shout the blues and Wiko's guitar work is perfect.
