Cannonball

Talking of which, here comes this year’s nice guy finishing first. After the sparse, challenging ‘Blower’s Daughter’ this re-recorded album track is tailor made for an assault on the mainstream charts. Like Kitt’s ‘Hope Street’, it’s close musical cousin, ‘Cannonball’ is a lush summertime special that tugs at the heartstrings and leaves you grinning from ear to ear.
