“Marjory Razorblade” by Kevin Coyne - album review
| features in: Album Chart of 1973 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s |
The demise of John Peel’s Dandelion Records label wasn’t all bad news for Kevin Coyne. His 1972 debut LP had come to the attention of Virgin records, who were sufficiently impressed to sign him and release his follow up, “Marjory Razorblade”. This was a terrific set from the 29 year old “anti-star” – the high quality fare within was remarkably maintained throughout the entire 80 minutes duration of the double LP. Uneasy, bizarre, troubled and never afraid to show his vulnerability, Kevin Coyne’s unique and highly expressive brand of folk blues stands him apart as superior to virtually all of his peers. On this kinda form, Coyne staked a real claim as contender for Van Vliet’s outsider art crown…
