Thank you! Lawrence King has always been one of my favourite drummers, and I’ve always been disappointed that there’s no surviving footage of his performances with Wimple Winch, but this is an unexpected delight, truly wonderful.

Ackles was an acclaimed and influential songwriter, influencing Elton John, Elvis Costello and many others. His 'Road to Cairo' was covered by Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger, and was also covered by Elton John, Elvis Costello, The Hollies, Spooky Tooth, Howard Jones and Martin Carthy. Bernie Taupin said of Ackles's style: "There was nothing quite like it. It's been said so many times, but his stuff was sort of [like] Brecht and Weill, and theatrical. It was very different than what the other singer-songwriters of the time were doing. There was also a darkness to it, which I really, really loved, because that was the kind of material that I was drawn to." Taupin went on to produce his 'American Gothic' album. Broadcast December 20 1968. These songs were on his first, eponymous album from 1968. Also these David Ackles songs and interview are uploaded separately.
