Here we go as always, who? Well, I was in the same camp around 2003. The short answer, Lloyd is a singer\/songwriter from the Eighties or so in the same vein as John Wesley Harding and Billy Bragg\u2026English, not very elaborate and esoteric lyrics. I had often known about him in the background\u00a0because Matthew Sweet joined his band the Commotions as the bass player between his albums\u00a0<em>Earth<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Girlfriend<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Recently Lloyd put out a new album via\u00a0crowd-sourcing called\u00a0<em>Standards<\/em> and we caught him on tour. It&#8217;s his first in several years but many old-time fans say it&#8217;s more of a return to form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Cactus Cafe was the perfect venue to see him. Just him and a couple\u00a0acoustic guitars. Lloyd covered his hits over the decades with\u00a0<em>Standards<\/em> material mixed in. He would tell funny stories while tuning his guitars. If you&#8217;re curious about Lloyd&#8217;s material, start with <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/the-singles-mw0000470625\" target=\"_blank\">this greatest hits<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0compilation. It contains his most famous song &#8220;Rattlesnakes.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After the show, I got in line to get an autograph and face time. Lloyd is a really funny and friendly guy. I told him I was really happy to meet him being only a fan since 2003 plus I became one through Matthew Sweet. He said he always loved working with Matthew (Sweet played bass and contributed backing vocals on <em>Standards<\/em>), while they were recording the new albums, Lloyd said Matthew loved all the songs, praised them\u00a0for being brilliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Next up, really digging deeper to find Lloyd Cole&#8217;s back catalog. How did I miss out on his much earlier work?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, we celebrated part two of my belated concert gifts with my friend Mark\u2026Lloyd Cole.
