Kevin Ayers - Sweet Deceiver (2009)

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1975 solo album from the former Soft Machine member. Ayers' solo material reflected a folksier, lazier, and gentler turn than Soft Machine. He was often compared to Syd Barrett and is never less than enjoyable and original, veering from singalong ditties and pleasant, frothy Folk ballads to dissonant improvisation. This reissue features five bonus tracks from a BBC In Concert performance from April 1975. EMI. 2009.
