Coincidentally I was thinking about Mark's parents the other day (thinking about his sentence in Life In Songs that he had a good upbringing from both parents. Without getting too private, do we know if both parents are still alive? His father's death gets connected with not playing Tunnel of Love anymore. When did he die? And how about his Mother?

I think his mother is still alive but I'm not sure. I recall when the Emmylou tour I saw somewhere a picture of MK and Emmy with their moms, but that was 12 years ago...
So we get the 'Your never walk alone' melody played on slide guitar
MK : “It just felt good to play it on the slide,”
A very interesting observation Love Expresso. Heart Full Of Holes is one of the most mysterious songs for me. These voices at the end... And one of the most beautiful texts he wrote

The first time I heard it I couldn’t stop crying, I don’t even listen to the song in public with headphones on because it gets me every time. It is a treasure, maybe the most special and touching song he ever recorded.

Rodgers and Hammerstein are credited for the song:

Guess Mark has been listening to musicals alot for Local Hero. And it inspired him for this song.

Has anyone mentioned it? Introduction to Tunnel Of Love is Rodgers and Hammerstein. You Never Walk Alone too. I wonder if it's a coincidence
It's a copy of Junkie Doll, but the slide solo is PHENOMENAL

WHAT A SONG!!!!
It brought me to tears.... it starts a bit like Lonegan's gone and Farewell Northumberland, and then it flies away with a solo that is really enchanting ... moving... great great song!!
Junkie doll!!!! Unbelievable track!!!!! :clap
One unmentioned part is the drumming of Ianto.
He's the best suited drummer for MKs music period. It's both advanced yet so fluent you forget the beat since you focus on MKs playing.
So props to Ian!
Junkie doll!!!! Unbelievable track!!!!! :clap
Actually this "cover" part of You'll Never Walk Alone is a million times better than the original. Truly unbelievable and amazing, hats off.
Would love to get the link too, thanks!Thanks a lot😍😀
I cannot take this track seriously. Snipper. About the solo... well ge plays the song note for note.. can't find anything in it that's very special. Pity but had no expectations after the first describtions. That Junkie Doll Cover precidely note for note is somewhat outrageous.

So do you agree when I said the slide tone was better, warmer, rounder, and Cooderish ? ;)

I feel pretty disappointed and dejected too, at the moment. When I heard GOYS and Dancefloor I was overjoyed, especially Dancefloor, which is right up my street. Then last night I heard Trapperman and One Song at a Time. Agreed, they are nice songs, but for me they are just too long and rather monotonous and I really dislike Guy's synths. I listened to Just a Boy this morning, but, sorry, I don't like that one either. The slide guitar, which everyone likes, sets my teeth on edge! I hope these songs will grow on me, as I'm sure they will - I will have to give them time. There are a couple of songs - Bacon Roll and Nobody Does That, which I can't bring myself to listen to yet. Now, I understand how Nick14 felt! I hope the rest of the album will restore my faith! :)

Clearly the first part of this song is just an excuse to get to the other side with the slide guitar. You can almost imagine how this track was written/constructed: you have an idea of playing "You'll Never Walk Alone" on slide guitar, what should you do? You can't just play it and that's it. You have to build it up from something.
So forget about lyrics, forget about Junkie Doll cover, the main focus is on the slide solo and it's amazing, gives you goosebumps.
Much like this "Playtime Deluxe" blues song on Bill Wyman 80th Birthday. You're waiting for this big reveal at the end.
Just A Boy Away From Home is a track for people who loves solid groove, emotional slide guitar and GOOD arrangements.
Only that it gives me no goosebumps but is totally mediocre.

Its also one of the important songs of my favourite club 'Feyenoord' and indeed, the solo hit me emotionally. I love it and give me goosebumbs every time.
Bundesliga yesterday had Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich and they sung it too.
LE
I like the idea that in times like these football fans across the continent are united by an old song like this.
LE
Dortmund won 3:2 ;DAfter the game sent this song to my sister, who is Dortmund fan!

Funny to see people always think about Liverpool FC when thinking in YNWA, which is a very beautiful song by itself...
Does anyone have a clue what guitar he's using here? Is it a baritone? And what type?

sounds Danelectro 59-DC
I recall reading that Mk and Guy both told it was the white stratocaster.
Seen 2 of them on Ebay recently, decided to pass on it, if I were a dedicated Liverpool fan I might have got it...I come from Croatia, but i wouldn't mind if i have one! it rocks after all!
Remarkable story.
