A local boy to me, saw him for live for the first time yesterday after 18 months of delays, and it was worth the wait. 

Sam is well known in the UK, I’m not sure how well known internationally, but he’s a real talent. 

A lot of his more popular songs are a little too polished for my taste, but some are great including the title tracks of his two albums Hypersonic Missiles and Seventeen Going Under. 

Some real gems lie in the less popular tracks, including: Aye, The Borders, Leave Fast, Angel in Lothian, Mantra, Poundshop Kardashians and Howdon Aldi Death Queue (find a live version). 

Absolutely amazing live, well worth a look if he’s ever playing near you.

    From the little I've heard, your summation sounds about right on.  I wasn't crazy about some, but some of his stuff sounds pretty good.  An opening for Bob Dylan and Neil Young in 2019 at his age- well, there you go!
