KEVIN COYNE
with MICK SWEENEY, NICK CUDWORTH, DAVE CLAGUE
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

SLEEVE VG+ (please, see pictures and read above description)
Coyne's first solo recording is a triumphant, if occasionally bleak,
look at life's outsiders. Using his time as social worker in a government-run
mental hospital as a basis for his narratives, Coyne deals with issues of intense
alienation, indifference, substance abuse (to which he was no stranger), a
nd mental instability in a world that would rather forget these people existed,
and a labyrinthine governmental bureaucracy that often denied their humanity.
This is not a happy record, and is only infrequently hopeful, but it's never cynical,
and neither does Coyne indulge in glib condescension.
He acts as a subjective documentarian, an advocate
for a group of people who desperately need one...(AllMusic)
