A few years ago, Ray Webster recommended that I listen to "Border Affair + Naked Child" by Lee Clayton and he handed me a copy of the CD. I took his advice, and upon first listening to the album wasn't too impressed - but then, the second time or third time I listened, something clicked. I remember being sat on the coach alone on my way to Leeds, looking out the window as the coach sped across the motorways, and found myself really enjoying the album.
Admittedly, it's not an album you can just 'pick up and play' but has to suit your mood. Sounding like a mix between Brakes, Nick Cave and Ray LaMontagne, Lee Clayton's "Border Affair + Naked Child" was a CD release on Edsel Records UK which brought together the 1978 and '79 Captiol Records' respective releases.
The Wikipedia entry for Lee Clayton has an interesting biography which outlines his career; notably that others seemed to have more mainstream success singing his songs than he achieved himself, including Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie Nelson, superband The Highwaymen and Waylon Jennings, who reached #11 in the Billboard Charts of 1972.
Today his career has largely gone silent; but I can't help but think I'd be slightly disappointed if he were still producing music to date. January 2008 seen the release of "Border Affair: the Capitol Years" which is a 2 disc collection featuring 1978s "Border Affair", 1979s "Naked Child" and the 1981 release "The Dream Goes On" - if you like what you hear below, I recommend you add it to your collection.
