David Bowie - Never Let Me Down


[1987]
An underrated Bowie tune from his floundering era. I guess it fits with the sophist-pop scene of the age though. You tend to forget how often he used harmonica which always seems so anachronistic because it just so early Bob. Anyway Never Let Me Down was a slight bit of a relief after terrible singles like Blue Jean, Day In Day Out, all these soundtrack things and the bloody shemozzles he did with Tina Turner and Mick Jagger. I don't think anyone in my family ever had a copy of this album but it was pretty ubiquitous in other households at the time despite its poor critical reception but according to AA it's maybe one of these outlier fan favourite records like The Kinks Preservation Act  2 (1974).
