The 1984 Listening Post - Kevin Ayers - Deja...Vu

Kevin Ayers - Deja...Vu


#68
March 1984
Kevin Ayers
Deja…Vu
1.75 out of 5

Who’s in the mood for some white boy blues? 
The best I can come up with here is that Ayers seems to be a blues version of Harry Nillson. “Thank God for a Sense of Humor” is actually mildly more entertaining than it’s title. 
Ayers’ ego is dripping all over this record. 
But it isn’t until his cover  of “Lay Lay Lady” that I want to throw this record—nope. Not gonna go that way. I also had jokes about time traveling back to recording of this and murdering Kevin’s cat—-and something about regretting this whole project—-
It’s just so very very awful.
