Singer James P Davies has a way with words, and this wonderful track opens with a line that is both laugh-out-loud funny and quietly sad. Much like the song itself. James says, ‘“Since I Last Saw You” was written after a Saturday night playing in Port Talbot with my friends Steve and Chris Hawkins. They were playing as a piano and snare drum and brushes duo, and I was supporting on my guitar. I got talking to this girl and basically fell in love with her over the course of half an hour. An Amazonian Goddess....from Port Talbot. We arranged to meet on the Thursday. When I rang this girl on the Tuesday to cement the date, she put a guy on the phone who said he was her boyfriend! I was heartbroken for a while as I'd built this thing into the next Bogart and Bacall. Anyway, we were left with a smasher of a song. Having a colourful life pays off sometimes when you can put it into song’.

Although I do agree I'd prefer more focus on the IRS era, this is a really solid collection of covers that delivers some unique takes. Totally inspired me to go back and listen to the original albums as well. Jean-Paul DuQuette
