For various reasons. I found myself in New York the other week, and in a resiliently unhip part of Williamsburg at a bar called Don Pedro. The opportunity had come up to see one of my favourite artists of the past couple of years, a firebrand piano man called Hans Chew, whose debut solo album, “Tennessee And Other Stories”, was a surprise entry at the sharp end of Uncut’s 2010 Top 50 (Lots more on that here).
In the slightly dazed hurly-burly of the first week back at work, I clean forgot to mention anything about the new Uncut’s free CD, which collects 15 bands notionally influenced by our cover star, Jimi Hendrix.
