Garland Jeffreys is one of those artists, highly respected and admired by his peers and loved by his fans, but who has never received the commercial success his talent deserves. He has not released an album of all new material in almost 15 years but is now back with "The King Of Inbetween", a superb collection of songs with Garland's usual mix of rock, reggae, blues and soul styles, together with his lyrical perception and social commentary.
He is currently on a world tour and on Sunday evening he played a rare U.K. gig at the Jazz Cafe in Camden Town. He arrived on stage to a rapturious welcome and the band stormed into Coney Island Winter, the first single off the new album. Garland looked and sounded great as the band rocked behind him and they tore through favourites, old and new. Modern Lovers, I May Not be Your KInd, I'm Alive, Don't Call Me Buckwheat, Contortionist, 96 Tears, New York Skyline, Spanish Town and many more. Garland leapt off stage to mingle with the enthusiastic audience and, at nearly 70 years old, gave a performance an artist half his age would have proud off.
The superb band were joined by ex Steely Dan guitarist Elliott Randall for the encores, just a shame they ran out of time as R.O.C.K. and Matador were on the set list but were not played, can't win 'em all.
Garland stayed around after the gig, chatting to fans and signing autographs, a true gentleman and a genuine artist. In Garland's words, he has "a 90 year plan" so he is going to be around for a while yet. Next time he visits these shores, and I have a feeling he will be performing at the Light Of Day charity shows in the U.K. in November then go see him, you will not be disappointed.
