------ About the song Big River performed by Jimmy Nail
This song was played at my best mates funeral yesterday and touched everyone at the service.
It was so appropritate, Franks was and ex RN meteorologist and a 'ripper' in the coal mines for 17 years.
I dont know where to begin, my husband, yorkshire born has just introduced this artist and song to me. I can not believe how moved I am by this song and this artist voice. My father was Belfast born and worked in the shipyard and so the lyrics are special to me. I cant get his voice or the song out of my mind. In Canada we have never heard of Jimmy Nail, but this is our loss. We have missed him, I hope he has not retired.

------ About the song Big River performed by Jimmy Nail
I love this song. I can imagine "geordies" getting a lump in their throats listening to it - I do ad I'm not a geordie.
My all time fav actor.
Just a few years ago I realize that the Actor Jimmy Nail and the Singer Jimmy Nail was the same person, when Swedish Television broadcasted the "Pet-series" for the second time.
How can a actor with only his face express all human feelings - at the same time! Fantastic, fabulous etc!
Now, I give a shit about ManU, Liverpool FC, Fulham and Chelsea. Newcastle is my fav team.

------ About the song Beautiful performed by Jimmy Nail
THIS SONG SENDS SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE! THE MISIC IS WONDERFUL, ESPECIALLY THE HORN SECTION IN THE MIDDLE, SUCH A PITY IT WASNT RELEASED AS A SINGLE. JIMMY'S VOICE SOUNDS JUST LIKE HE MEANS EVERY WORD HE SINGS..FANTASTIC, AS USUAL.

------ About artist/band Jimmy Nail
An acquired taste is Jimmy Nail. His album 'Tadpoles in a Jar" maybe his best, but trying to pick out one album is unfair. One album worth trying is his covers of better known tunes - "Ten Great Songs and an OK Voice", especially a cover of the Police's "Walking on the Moon" - very big bandish and different.
"Take It or Leave It" is another album of note, some pretty good upbeat popular tracks, but as the title suggests : Jimmy Nail, you can take him or leave him, I prefer to take him....he's great.
