Kevin Coyne - Carnival

Carnival is an honest album from Kevin Coyne. Most of the songs are deeply rooted in his own experience and are genuine attempts to recreate the humour and sadness involved. Numbers like The Wobble and Party Party Party are for dancers, people who like to shake their thing on the dance floor and in the living room: happy people. I get annoyed when critics describe my records as eccentric and strange. The dance numbers on this CD are straight forward fun songs. I think you've got a hole in your soul if you think otherwise. - Kevin Coyne. Kevin Coyne continues to forge his own unique brand of folk blues, interior monologues of pain and giddy delusion, backed by a powerhouse band, featuring his son, Robert Coyne.
