THE STORY OF THE PAINTING
——————————————-
Philip’s Irishness was never in doubt but now we talked a lot about his
black roots and black music. I loved Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, Muddy
Waters and all that stuff, Philip was big into the Irish poet Yeats and
beat writer Jack Kerouac (‘On the Road’).
Somewhere he wanted a synthesis and fusion of all these influences to
flow into his music; he played me the master mixes of this album on a
set of cans attached to a walkman as we walked the beach. I was proud to
be involved but unfortunately the record company wanted more hard rock,
as is their right, and his dreams were shattered.
The cover was too ‘serious and dreamy’ so it went too. C’est la vie’.
Philip loved it so much I gave it to him to hang in his home studio. It
hangs today in his mum’s house in a room dedicated to his memory. At the
top left, on the original artwork, is a dedication: ‘To Philip. This
one is for you. Jim’.
It was our last collaboration.
