| As
British as you can get, this side of Andy Partridge (XTC).
Newell's more of a modern-day troubadour, venturing from town to town singing his songs about everday life in the English countryside. Sounds kinda boring, but far from it! He weaves interesting tales into sublimely rich song structures that really make you feel you're in a small English village on a warm summer's day. Great stuff! |

| More
of the same, this time with the added bonus of audio book tracks. Newell
is also an accomplished author, and he included a couple extracts from his book, This Little Ziggy. Interesting stuff. Especially the acoustic take on The Smiths' tune, 'Some Girls are Bigger Than Others.' |

| Rumour
has it that Newell has never set foot off English soil; he's never
toured for his music and has never been anywhere but England. Man after my own heart . . . . And by the sound of his continued musical brilliance, the rumours are true. And, these are the best XTC albums outside of XTC. |
