Yes, I miss Andy Kershaw already. Without him the Long Ryders would not have half the European audience we enjoy today. I am so glad his last years left the dark period way, way behind in the rear view mirror.

This fine Long Ryders review from the April issue of Record Collector with Robert Plant on the cover. So far the new album, High Noon Hymns, has not had anything but good reviews. Yes, I mean this, it is quite true. Hope to see you all on tour in April/May and in October we tour the UK.
